Revision from Gastric bypass to DS in DC area

Hello..I had an open gastric bypass 20 years ago and have gained back 70% of the weight..looking to revise to a DS and trying to find a good surgeon in the DC area..any suggestions?

the only specialists who do this that I've read a lot of glowing reviews about are both on the west coast - Dr. Keshishian in the LA area and Dr. Rabkin in San Francisco. I know there are only a handful of surgeons who specialize in this surgery, and it's supposed to be pretty complicated.

I'm in NJ - using Dr Michael Biloff for my revision.

Thanks! I actually have a consult with Dr. JR Salameh at Virginia Hospital Center near DC..he does the procedure as well..Anybody heard of him??

Wondering if you've had your consult and what you have decided? TY

be very careful there only a handful of surgeons in the world that can revise from rny to ds

Hi, I'm in New York and got my RNY to DS revision from Dr. Roslin. He does have an office at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan. I'm 5 days out and so far so good ð?'?

Thanks for your reply..were you able to get insurance coverage..I would be coming from the DC area...I am doing the footwork to revise to distal bypass but would prefer a DS..my surgeon here says it is too complicated..How are you doing with your revision?
