Hi there! I'm a new RNY to DS Revision and was lucky enough to have a surgeon who performed this procedure right in my backyard! Not sure what's available in TN, but I do want to extend an invitation to you to come visit the Duodenal Switch Forum here on Obesity Help. There are several RNY to DS Revision people there and they can provide you with a wealth of resources and information! Just know you are not alone in your search and there is an excellent support system out there ready to help you! :)  Good luck on your search!  Marie

Thanks for replying. I have been reading boards for hours. My insurance does not cover weight loss. I have been reading about Dr. U in Mexico and would like to talk to someone who has used him to find out about pricing and length of stay.

You are most welcome! :)  There are plenty of posters I see on the DS Forum who have used Dr. U! Here's the link... http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/ Don't be shy... introduce yourself, ask your questions, they are a very helpful bunch!  Side note: I had my RNY to DS Revision on June 9th, my pre-surgery weight was 423 acording to his records and today I was 375! Netting a 48 pound loss!!! There's still hope for ALL of us! See you in the other forum!  Marie
