Sounds like you need to take a look at these two bariatric journal articles on revision options for RNY surgery:
www.obesityhelp.com/forums/revision/3886215/Everyone-should- read-this-Revision-Procedures-for-Failed/
and
www.obesityhelp.com/forums/revision/3886208/Great-article-on-RNY-revisions-from-Bariatric-Journal/
It's interesting that you say you don't want the ERNY or the DS, but those are the most prevalent revision procedures RNY'ers are going for. Perhaps you're looking into Sclerotherapy or Stomaphyx (or the similar ROSE procedure)?
After reading these two articles you will be armed with more information to help you make your choice. You can print them and take them to the doctor with you, so that you can talk to him in his lingo. Also notice that someone recently posted on the revisions board that she was successful with Sclerotherapy. This is great news as everyone else posted that it didn't work for them. Same with Stomaphyx, only no one has come on to say that it was successful.
The important things to consider regarding your revision is why it is no longer working for you. If it is a "restriction" issue, maybe a lapband over RNY would work! If it is a metabolism issue, the DS would be the most successful.
Good luck!
