When I was 17 years old (2002) I had gastric bypass RNY and lost alot of weight (over 200lbs) I than got a hernia and started to gain weight back(120lb over 5 years). Long story short I had given up on life because no dr would fix my hernia im in pain most of the time and last month everything changed. I went in because I thought I was having a heart attack I was having A fib - meaning my heart was going 180bpm at resting. After they got my heart rate down my chest was still killing me but part of me thought maybe hernia is worse who knows but it was gaul stones! Go in for one thing come out with another. Than an Angel came to me Dr. H and he said he is ganna fix everything. I didnt get my hopes up and today I got a call asking if next week would be ok for surgery!!!! They are going to fix my large hernia take out my gail bladder and do a revision (Duodenal Switch)HAs any one has a Duodenal Switch as a revision from open RNY?
Hoddinott is NOT a revision surgeon. Hes not even a vetted DS surgeon.
What you are describing is NOT a DS but an ERNY. Its not really a good surgery. Be very careful...check this out thourghly. You dont want to be forced to have another surgery in a yr or so to try and fix this mess.
There are only a handful of qualified REVISION surgeons in the US. He aint one of em.
Run .... do not walk...away from this guy.

With some of these pre-op patients, I think that "stupidity" must be carried somewhere in the fat cells! LOL
I'm sure we'll be seeing this woman back on here again in 9 months or so, either complaining that she "hasn't lost any weight" or that she's weak and has bad labs -- maybe then, she'll listen!
Like we haven't seen others go this route before??
