BEST Revision surgeons to DS!

Many ask for a list of the best revision surgeons.  Here is a cut n paste....hopefully it helps!

Just a note: 
With my 8+ years on this board as well as my personal experience in the Bariatric biz and with 3 types of weight loss surgery....I would NOT EVER recommend a revision to a Stomaphyx, band or Rny.

A revision to a DS gives people the best ammo for long term success and if that's absolutely NOT possible then a revision to a sleeve (vsg) is a runner up.  Be your own advocate and RESEARCH!!!!

I had Dr. Keshishian with a revision from ERny to DS in May.  I LOVE Dr. K and have had great results.  My issues were unique and weight wasn't my main problem so I needed to go with a proven "expert"!

Though there are quite a few surgeons who do a DS as a 1st surgery there are very few who have the experience and expertise to do REVISIONS:

Be sure and check in with the DS forum with your questions.  You can get amazing information on www.dsfacts.com regarding the DS vs other options.

Good luck!

Can you confirm if this is Dr. Ganger's current contact information? I'm trying to help someone who had surgery with him years ago in NY.
