I need some help finding a surgeon that performs lap revisions.  Particularly, VBG to DS.   I am 11 years post op from VBG.  I really have been disappointed with my results.  Everyone tells me to eat protein first.  My problem is that meats will not "go down" and I will eventually throw it up. I know that protein consumption is important in weight loss, and understand that DS patients have no trouble consuming protein.  Please help me find a surgeon that will perform this surgery!! Thanks

Post this on the DS board.  I know there are quite a few VBG to DS.  BettyBoop comes to mind, who just had her revision with Dr. Buchwald in MN.

Also, Vicki has a lot of info on revision surgeons:

I am also doing a VBG to DS revision this summer.  I haven't decided on a date yet, but I am doing it in Mexico.  You can pm me if you would like.  :) Good luck.
