DS REVSION W/Dr.Michael Schwartz Minnesota questions
I would definitely advise you to set up a consult at the U of M. Dr. Ikrammidin ad Dr. Buchwald are the great ones! Dr. B only does open. Dr. I can do both ways. I am sorry that you are struggling with discomfort from the VBG. The DS would be a great choice.
RNY to DS Revision 4/29/2011
Dr. Henry Buchwald
"Think twice.....Cut ONCE"
Dr Schwartz is doing my DS on Tuesday. He is the one that suggested the DS to me in the first place. And explained the pros and cons to both. He wasn't pushy towards one or the other. He just gave me all the information and let me make the decision. I was set on the RNY, and after he suggestion i did a little more reseach and decided to go with the DS. He was very neutral about what procedure i choose, and made sure i had all the information to make the right choose for me. I can't speak to the revesion, but i can tell you next week how it went. My both time meeting him, he was really nice and professional.
I pray he is not bait and switch. I have never heard of him doing a DS. Forgive me if I am wrong. How many has he performed ? What is his success rate ? Have you talked to any of his DS patients ?

Revision #2 Dr John Rabkin June 21, 2013; First Revision DS - Dr Maguire 5-18-09; First DS 7-15-2003 Dr Clark Warden = Third time is the charm 
I have never heard of Dr Schwartz. He is not on the http://www.dsfacts.com/North-American-Duodenal-Switch-Surgeo ns.html list either.
I would never go to a non vetted DS revision doc. Sorry if you do not want to heat that. Do your research more on docs. You can check lots of places to find out more.. there are other boards here, yahoo groups, fb group, proboards, etc.
The BEST US revision docs are Dr Keshishian, Dr Rabin and Dr Stewart. There are also several out of the country self pay DS docs.. See the DSFACTS list. You will likely have to travel for a reliable revision surgeon. I wish I would of researched more initially, then I would not of had to have a revision.
