Looking for Surgeon

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of surgeons in NY (upstate) who do RNY to DS?  I am looking for one, or has anyone had this procedure done?  Any recomondations for sergeons in NYC?  I have Perferred care insurance.
thanks Michelle

where are u upstate?

I'm in Rochester

Community General in Syracuse!  Dr. DeSimone is AWESOME!  :-)

you can search for surgeons here on OH.  There are several surgeons registered with OH in NY. There are 114 additional ones who have not registered yet. My surgeon is Dr. Tvetenstrand at http://www.stscny.com/



good luck with your search!

Dr. William O'Malley at Highland Hospital in Rochester is the best you'll find, he has done thousands of procedures and was a person who would teach the procedure to other surgeons. He was also featured on OPRAH . Call his office  585-341-6543 you will not be disappointed

Thank you for the advice,
I had my original RNY done by a general sugeon in 2000 here in Rochester, he has moved out of town.  I had called o'mailly s office, he doesnt do revisions.  I am stuck going elsewhere.  I am looking into getting the lap band over my RNY.  I was also looking into getting a DS but am fearful of the malabsorbtion issues.  I am still reasearching things, thanks to everyone, I love OH...
