I don't know how big my pouch is.. they said it was large and my stoma is 4 cm. I am getting revision on Aug 8. You should see about revision.

What revision are you considering. I was revised to the duodenal switch.

If your BMI on your profile is current, I would highly recommend that you consider revision to the duodenal switch. Info in my signature.

Im going for the DS  I was originally looking into ROSE but the insurance dont pay for it.   My research shoes the DS is much better.  I have a seminar at Lenox Hill in NY on 8/9 and  I have an actual consult at Weil Cornell on 8/23.  Im undecided whuch to go with.  they are both wonderful hospitals.  If anyone has any feedback on either, I would appreciate it.

The rose is a waste of hope and money. It does not work.

I know Dr. Roslin from Lenox is an excellent surgeon, and so is Pomp from Cornell. Make sure to post on the DS forum for feedback. www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/

 I had my revision surgery with Dr. Roslin  last Nov. He is one of the best.  I was not revised to a DS. I went from an RNY back to an RNY.  You will be in great hands.

Im a litle afraid on another RNY.  The first one I guess kind of failed me.  May I ask why you chose to do another  RNY insted of the DS.
I have a seminar at Lenox Hill 8/9.  I am looking  forward to meeting him.
