old fashioned staple job to a DS..anybody?
Paula, I am thinking Dr. Husted will do the surgery but there are some problems with insurance in California. I live in Texas. It is all a mess with the insurance. I wrote Dr Gagner in New York about my desire to have DS. He said he would just do the second part of the DS. The intestinal switch part and leave the stapling in place. I have read the the intestinal switch part will only bag a 30-40pound weight loss. Since I am at heaviest weight now, I am not sure it would be worth it to me to have only the second part. Dr. Husted who is the kingpin of revisions said he would do the revision to the sleeve. That sounds more like what I will need. If I knew more about the surgical considerations when performing these procedures I might feel more confident in my choice. I really liked Dr. Husted a lot. And I very much respect Dr. Gagner. I feel a little like the baby brought before Solomon
