Has anyone had revision surgery done by Dr. Schweitzer at John Hopkins? If so, what did you think?  I was going to have Stomaphyx done, but have read that it was a waste of time and if you want to lose the weight you have gained and keep it off DS is the way to go.  Any information or comments would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

 This is not a doctor that I have read much about on the DS board.   Are you sure he does revisions to the DS???  There are only a handful of docs that have the skill and experience to do this surgery as a revision.   The rest of them will convince you that it's too dangerous for you.   Not all weight loss surgeons even do the DS surgery, so be sure that you are seeing a doctor who does - in order to truly get an honest answer as to what would be the best revision for you!

Please check out:  www.dsfacts.com and www.duodenalswitch.com  for lists of vetted and experienced DS surgeons and BE SURE AND POST THIS SAME QUESTION ON THE DS BOARD!  You will find the most experienced DS people there and not on the revisions board.
