Revision information

I need help finding someone who has had RNY first and then a revision by Dr. Chapman in Greenville, North Carolina. I have a few questions to ask.

Wish I had info to give but I am looking for info on RNY revisions myself.  I will follow your post to see if you get any replies.  I hope you do.

I have no real answer to your question, but I've got to ask---if you had an RNY in 2003, and today you have a BMI of 39.5, have you considered that the RNY isn;t the best form of WLS for you? Have you looked into getting revised to the DS?

I am considering DS revision. I feel it will be the best for me. Thanks for your input.

HI
   Im not in NC but I can tell you I had the RNY and now I have the lap band over it and I love it that was the best move I made.

Wow..  I didnt know you could do that .  I had the RNY also 2005 but have gained 70lbs
Wow Please tell MORE!

Thanks

And, one more GOOD LINK is to Dr. Keshishian's website, this link:
http://www.dssurgery.com/about/publications.php?subnav=0
takes you directly to published research he has done.  The one titled: Duodenal Switch is a Safe Operation for Patients who have failed Other Bariatric Operations, Obesity Surgery, October 2004, V14 (9), 1187-1192

Since this is a PDF format, it is best to follow the link & read the paper on his website.  VERY, VERY enlightning.


I hope I have helped you out!!!!
