Hi. I was just wondering if anyone knows if anyone at CC does a revision from RNY to DS?

There is no one at the clinic that does the DS either original or revision. They believe it is not a good surgery. Please be careful about finding a revision surgeon as it is serious surgery and must be done by someone with lots of experience. Go over to the Duodenal Switch site and they will advise you as there are several there who have had revisions. Good luck. I LOVE my DS...Ellen from Ohio

There is no place in Ohio that will revise a RNY to DS. Even the surgeons in Dayton will only revise to a distal RNY. If you ask out on the DS board, I know that there are several who have a list of surgeons who do revisions.
