Is It Possible To Have Revision From RNY to DS?

I'm considering revision surgery.  I have had 50% regain from surgery 7.5 yrs ago.  Does anyone know you can have a revision from RNY to DS.  I'm trying to determine which revision procedure will be best, most beneficial and yield the best results for me.

Yes. I had my RNY to DS revision 10 months go. There are quite a few of us over on the DS board.

This is very complex surgery and there are only a few surgeons in the country who do it, so travel is usually necessary. Check out DSFacts.com for a list of vetted surgeons. Surgeons who do this are Drs. Keshishian, Rabkin, Roslin, Gagner, and possibly buchwald and Greenbaum.

Good luck.

Yes. I had mine 6 months ago with DR. Keshishian. There are few surgeons who do this type of revision. Post on the DS board also. www.dssurgery.com/about/publications/duodenal-switch-safe-op eration.pdf

Yes, IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!

Please check out the link Rabbitfoot gave to you!!!!  That document SEALED my decision to go from my 2002 RNY to the DS.  I will be flying from Alaska to California to have my revision.



Good Luck!!!!!

Yep, it is possible...but only a handful of surgeons in the US do the surgery.  I am going to be having my RNY from 2000 revised to a DS early this next year :)

I thought about all of the possible RNY revision options and the DS was the only one that I felt confident in as far as procedure goes and would be the best option for me based on my needs.  The Stomaphyx doesnt seem to work at all and I discounted the BOB (band over bypass) as putting crap on top of something that didnt work well for me in the first place.

Good luck to you in whatever path you choose

Yes it is possible.  I am 3 1/2 weeks post op RNY to DS revision and I am currently down 30 lbs.  There are only a handful of surgeons that can handle this type of revision so you may have to travel. 

Good luck to you.

 Have you considered a Band instead?  A band over bypass is very safe and great for those of us who don't need to lose a lot of weight.  I am down 40lbs since my BOB in June.  

Had my revision almost 2 years ago, best decision of my life.

Okay I see the list of doctors on the DSfacts page but I do not see where it says vetted or ryn to DS doctors.
Can someone please share that link please?

Here is the list that jeninky1 was looking for.  This is my list, but a general up-to-date list.
