Anyone looking into or has had the second stage procedure done by Dr. Schweitzer at Hopkins? He no longer does DS so I'm wondering what he's doin for the malabsorption portion of the second stage.

My guess is that he no longer does the second stage at all.  That would be a DS.

Now, there are newer hybrids like SIPS (aka SADI or LoopDS), but they are still very new and unproven for the long-term.
