 For those of you that have revised from RNY to DS, I have a question. What do they do with your pouch? Do they mess with it or leave it be? I am considering revising as I am already on the regain train but do not know what they actually do to the pouch. 

Thanks much.

The pouch was taken down and reversed back to normal. For me, the extra ring on my stoma was excised. Then the stomach was made into a vertical gastric sleeve. You get your pyloric valve back, so it's a win-win.
