Starting from scratch

I had RNY 3+ years ago.  I won't bore you all with my story, but I am looking into revision.  I have an appointment with a doctor I am not familiar with on Oct. 13.

I've read a lot of posts here that say DO YOUR RESEARCH.  My problem is, I don't even know where to begin and what to research.  I have gotten a little familiar with all of the different revision procedures, but it seems like I am finding more opinions than medical facts.  I want to go to this appointment knowing a little something, and see what the doc's opinion is. 

Second issue is....I'm a wuss.  I am really squeamish (for lack of a better word) when it comes to medical stuff.  Not having it done, but talking about it.  I actually threw up on my bari surgeon when he showed me a diagram of what he was going to do.  I'm afraid this makes me seem like an uninformed or unintelligent consumer when it comes to my health care. 

My question is: does anyone know of some good research sites that have simple diagrams relating to the different procedures?  Also, any tips you have on research would be helpful.

www.dsfacts.com Hope that helps. Good luck to you.

Here is the website with diagrams for you:

Thank you guys!  I'm taking baby steps and looking at all of the pictures.  So far, so good.

This web site, Obesity Help has simple diagrams of each surgery.
