I'm not the OP but I have also had the DS.
Many doctors do NOT do the DS and thus they are not going to encourage something that they don't have the skills / know how or interest to do. They want to make the money not necessarily do what is best for the patient.
You don't state who the docs you have seen are but I can fully and completely recommend you to see Dr. Anthone. He does primarily the DS (he assists the other doc in the practice with lap band and the RNY). He is a wonderful person and awesome wonderful doc. He is now my doc, but not the one who did my DS.
If you are interested in the DS and want to know more about it and ask more questions check out the DS forum here on OH. They are a great bunch of people and can answer all of (or the majority) your questions.
Many doc also have the old info on the DS from when there were problems and such with the surgery. Do your research and don't go with what a doc wants, go for what YOU want with the information you have!
Good luck & feel free to contact me if you have any questions. :)

Topic: Body Image Nutrition Class/ Lincoln
Hello Everyone in Lincoln,
I started attending this class given by Voices of Hope ,, It is on a trial basis right now and ends June 30th . I told the dietition lady I would like to continue this class, We took a vote and want to keep it going for a long time..We have the OK ....If we get more votes she would be very happy to continue educating women with their Body Image's....And food Nutrition
There is no charge for this class, most dieticians charge more than women on low incomes can afford... or anyone at this bad economic time....I have learned so much already,,she goes into detail about healthy foods,, anyway even I at nearly 52 years old (June 28th) need this, shoot I still need help learning about carbs,,My old PcP couldnt help me much on this in the past...I never made it to goal and have hopes now that i will learn to prepare healthier foods at home.. She has knowledge with Gastric Bypass....
If this sounds like something you would like to attend once a week starting again the middle of July please let me know..Again, there is no charge for this class....Have a Great Day.......Wendy

Topic: Telehealth support group tonight!
Hi Everyone, tonight is the telehealth support group. Shelly Holman is hosting it. She will have a dietician speaking. The support groups are held around the state. Check with the local hospital to find out where it is. In Scottsbluff it will be at the medical plaza south meeting room. Hope you can come. Mona

Topic: RE: Any Nebraskans have surgery in Mexico?
I had planned to get a band in Mexico and the Scottsbluff surgeon's office will do fills, I asked them.
then I learned about VSG and had that instead. no fills.
I have never seen anyone post negative info about Mexico but I had a very posative experience and would highly recommend my surgeon and the hospital where he practices.
good luck with your decision and your surgery.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Topic: RE: 16 days!
Hi my name is dolly I just read your post about Dr's pushing the RNY I am leaning toward the DS also and at this time waiting for authorization to see 3rd Dr. for WLS the 1st would only do lapbands the 2d would do DS cash only bases and on top of that if you were to have the RNY he wanted 950.00 dollars up front for vitamins and other items, he even had the nerve to say at the seminar Im putting my sons thru college and that is expensive. Needless to say I didn't go back. Im wondering why getting the DS is such a hassel? It has been around for sometime, did you also have problems finding your Dr. Sincerely dolly
