Well. after a long day of back and forth decisions I guess I will be having my DS surgery done by Dr. Ungson.  I started out with Dr Spaw in Nashville, but he doesn't do revisions.   Then to Dr Husted in Kentucky who will do revisions.    But my insurance absolutely will not pay and I can't afford to go self pay.  So I am going to go to Dr. Ungson to have it done.  I had my band done in Monterrey Mexico and it went great and the doctors and nurses were so nice and the hospital was spotless.  I can't get that kind of care here.  So now I just have to get together $11000 for the surgery.  I have air miles I can use so that won't be a problem.  Anyone else had revision surgery with Dr. Ungson?  How did it go?  Where you nervous about getting it done there and then finding a doctor for your aftercare here in the states?  Did you take someone with you or go it alone?  Was the trip coming home rough because of the pain?

I haven't had it done yet but Dr. U specializes in high risk and revision cases as well as the DS.  You will be in excellent hands!!   Go to the DS forum board and ask questions there.  Everyone is friendly and you'll get lots of answers.
