Ok.. its been almost 4 years since i did this. I found 2 surgeons on my insurance they both do lap band, Revison and will fix the old surgery if can. I have been reading about them and I was just wondering what do you look for in a surgeon? http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+p rofile+Ronnie+Keith+hqf.html http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+p rofile+Russell+Gornichec+pfp.html Fyi It is a covered thing on my insurance but it only covers up to 15,000 per person

I would be looking for a surgeon experienced in doing revisions from RNY to a DS.  Surgeons who do not perform the DS, usually don't promote it... so you don't get the full picture from them - so it is difficult to make a truly informed decison when you don't have all of the informatin on which to decide!  I think all of the DS experienced surgeons also do RNYs and can speak well to EACH procedure.   I invite you to come over to the DS Board and ask any questions you would like. Lots of revisions from the band and RNY over there. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/DS/a,messageboard/board_id ,5357/
