Revision/new here/Questions

Hello everyone!

My name is Amy and I am new here.  I had a Vertical banding with stapling in 2001.  I am currently in the process of seeing Dr.swartz st.paul heath east, for possible revision.  I was 429lbs when I had my first procedure done got down to about 330 pretty much maintain that.  I am thinking about the RNY or the DS switch as a revision.  I spend more time in pain and throwing up more than anything else.   

So wondering a few things.
1. Has Any one on here dealt with dr.Swartz on a revision
2. Any one got any advice on revisions?
3. Or any Advice on the RNY or DS?

I see that you guys have a meeting I believe on saturdays can someone fill me in more on that.

Thank you everyone!!!!

You are welcome to join us for coffee South of the River every Saturday morning.  We meet at alternate locations:  this Saturday is at the Panera Bread in Burnsville Center mall.  Thefollowing Saturday is at Caribou Coffee located inside the Byerly's in Eagan by Town Center.  We meet at 8:30 and go 'til 10am or so, depends on what time people have. 

We welcome people at all stages of the process, so please plan on coming!  We'd love to have you.  In Panera, we usually sit just inside the door--there's a set of tables with a long bench on one side--look for the folks with lots of water bottles, etc.  :-)

I had RnY with Dr. Schwartz' former partner Dr. Chute.  I have heard all good things about Dr. Schwartz.  I think you would be in good hands, but I have no personal experience with him.

Thank you very much for the reply!  I work every other weekend but definiflty will try to make it to the saturdays i am not working.
