His website says he does it but I haven't heard anyone mention him. Thoughts?

I have never heard of him even doing a virgin DS in over 9 years of being on various WLS boards.

The list Jamie posted are the only surgeons doing RNY to DS revisions with little or no complications.

Dr. Lopez is not even vetted as a regular DS surgeon.

Over 7 years here and other DS sites, never heard of him for ANY DS at all.Revision from RNY to DS is the most complex and highest risk bariatric operation being done presently. There are only a few surgeon who do it. You need to be extremely selective about your surgeon and you probably will need to travel. It's best to accept this now and work on finding the right surgeon.

Traveling is definitely an expectation. I just can't afford to do it in the US. Thanks for the response.
