 Yes, you can.  This is considered a very challenging type of revision.  Those of us who have been revised from RNY to DS have had this done.  The top half of the DS is the VSG.  The intestine is revised only if you are having the full DS revision.  Still, the same surgeons who perform the revisions to DS are the ones who you would want to research.  I may be missing a couple but your choices probably are Keshishian or Rabkin in California, Roslin in NYC and Greenbaum in NJ.  If you go out of country, Gagner in Montreal, Canada; Dr. Ungson in Mexico; Dr. Marchesini in Brazil.
