Hi! i am wondering if anyone has had experience with a revision from Rny to DS and had it done here in Washington. i had Rny in 2008, but my BMI was so high that I am not seeing the best results. My surgeon didn't offer DS, and from my research I've found that it has a greater % of excess weight loss especially in those with really high BMIs(over 50). Any info will be helpful!!!

Dr. Srikanth and Dr. Oh, both in Federal Way CAN do this, but I don't know if they WILL do it.

The whole taking someone else's patient thing.

If they turn you down, I do have someone outside WA who will do it for you. OK, well, I can't promise for him, but he has taken seriously damaged ppl and fixed 'em.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

Revision on 09/22/10

Hey there..Dr. Oh..are you serious?? YAYY thats who I went and saw last week! He has me scheduled for an EGD because he said he wants to look at my stomach first to see what my options are. Do you know of anyone who he has done a revision to DS on? I am trying to talk to someone who has had the experience with him.

THANKS!

Where do you live in WA?

Support group meeting in Puyallup tonight, Summit Library, behind Albertson's off Canyon Rd, 5pm, I think.

That's the last one I know of in April.

HI! I live in Renton too!! I am having RNY on 9/20. I know you're having a revision but you know what I'm getting ready to go through & would love to pick your brain. I read the board but it would be nice to talk to someone in my neck of the woods!!

I think you should consider seeing Dr. Srikanth. He has an excellent reputation. All of the DSers on the DS forum who I've met who actually had the DS surgery in Washington seem to have used him. I wanted him but he doesn't take Medicare.

Good luck!
