What sort of revision do you want? Different surgeons do different procedures. If you want your RNY revised to a DS, the form of WLS with the very best long-term, maintained weight-loss stats, search this board for a post from Smileyjamie titled something like "RNY to DS Surgeons List". It's very complete!
Gd Morning Ms. Batt,
I had my initial surgery in Apr 05 & I have gained alot of the weight back. I was first considering the band, but after researching and reading different result, I think the DS would be a better surgery for me. You mentioned Smileyjamie had a surgeons list, how do I get to that to view the list, I live in Tx and a few of the Dr's here do revisions, but I want to make sure they are educated and well experienced in the DS surgery.
THanks.

MsBatt put the list here, but it's several posts above yours now.
I would first decide what surgery you want, then do tons of research on the doctors that perform them!! Revisions are a much more difficult procedure than an original surgery....so you need a doctor who is very skilled with you revision type!!
Good luck!!!
