DS by Dr, John Husted?

Hello all,
I am new to this. I first thought about having the lap band..changed my min..then I went to the RNY...changed my mind (almost) and I now am looking for a surgeon who can do the DS close to me and it seems the closest is in Arizona. Has anyone had the DS by Dr. Husted? thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
Jeni

 Hi, Jeni.  

Dr. Husted works at Arizona Weight Loss Solutions in Desert Ridge.  You are more than welcome to come to our support group and meet some of his patients.  We have a support group on the first Monday of every month.  Dr. Husted has preformed 1,000s of Duodenal Switch operations.  It's a new operation to the area but he has been doing them for more than 10 years. 

Check out YouTube for Dr. John Husted.  I recently put a video of him online.   Have a great day.

Thanks that is a good idea however I dont live close at all. about 9 hours. If my insurance accepts him on my list, then I would love to come down and check it out!

I had my DS done by Dr Husted and am very happy with it and him. He is very experienced. I would be happy to stay in contact with you thru your journey. Fee free to ask me anything. I am on here a lot and in the DS forum.

You might want to come to the DS board, too, where there are MANY Husted patients.

 
Dr. Husted has an outstanding reputation.  He's one of about 4 surgeons in the country that can take down bypass and revise to DS and he does it lap instead of full open.  I realize you don't have bypass but I was just making a point about how good he is.

He's also an amazingly nice guy.  I am glad he's in AZ as AZ never really has had a great revision surgeon for bariatrics before.
