RNY To DS on 3-20-13 by Dr Barker in Dallas

Well now i am scared. Has anyone had a DS revision with Barker that can chime in?

These statements by these vets are NOT researched or any facts about his actual experience as a doctor. PLEASE contact me if you would like to hear more about him or hear about my five years worth of experience with him as a surgeon. I question any of the informatino they give me now because of how OFF BASE they are on barker. GRANTED his approach on vitamins after surgery is WAY off but him as a surgeon is GREAT.

FRUSTRATED by lack of knowledge of these who are chiming in.

I'm confused about this. It says on your name at the top of the post that you were having a procedure with Daryl Stewart... What's all this talk about Dr. Barker? How did it go by the way. i guess i will have to read more to see if you came back to tell about your experience. 

Please listen to everyone who has chimed in here.  They are all knowledgeable vets and would NEVER steer you wrong.  

There are only a handful of qualified surgeons who can give you a proper revision to a DS.  Also, many surgeon's offices (RDs, nutritionists, etc) aren't properly schooled in the nutritional requirements of a DSer.  But I'd reconsider your choice of surgeon first and foremost if it were me.

I am sorry these posts probably aren't doing much to calm your nerves but everyone who has posted, has done so out of concern.  Surgery is serious.  

Good luck and best wishes  

GREAT NEWS!!!

Glad to hear that! 

Stewart is one of the best of the best. My surgeon doesn't do RnY to DS revisions although he is a great Virgin DS surgeon.  The RnY to DS is a very complex and risky surgery and you DO NOT WANT an ERNY. 

Keep us updated!!!
