Duodenal Switch anyone?

I have seen mentioned a duodenal switch and I wonder if anyone has had that surgery. And why they choose that. I would appreciate any input from anyone. Thanks.

Hi Kathleen- I don't think there are many surgeons in Wisconsin that do the DS. Dr. David Engstrand is doing it now (on some patients that meet certain requirement). www.bariatricwi.com . Lori Watson Schumann

Hi, kathleen, I had the BPD/DS with Dr. Engstrand on 7/29/04. There are lots of threads you can read on the ds forum message board. If you have any question, you can post them there or email me. good luck Denise
