Has anyone had their DS revised using the Kissing-X procedure/technique?  Does it basically revise your DS to a VSG?  I know how wonderful the DS is for 99%, but I am part of the 1% where it is/was the wrong procedure for me.  Thanks is advance for any information.

Is this just making you common channel longer?  or are they putting the intestines back to the original form?

This is from the site:

The easiest revision procedure that increases both alimentary and common limb length involves a single connection to the small intestine; this is also known as entero-enterostomy and by some, the "kissing-X." The "neuro-endocrine brake" effect, generally enables patients to maintain some level of weight loss. The neuro-endocrine brake effect is also responsible for weight loss after Ileal Trasposition surgery.

My DS surgery was 16 years ago.   In the past two years I have developed a serious problem with low blood sugar, my current doctor is considering this revision in hopes of solving this problem.
