Question:
DS surgeons in Texas?

Please tell me if you know of a surgeon that performs the DS in Texas or anywhere close to me. I live near Dallas. Thanks for your help!!!    — Melissa T. (posted on August 24, 2001)

There are currently no DS doctors in Texas, but if you goto http://www.duodenalswitch.com you will find a list of surgeons that do the DS and you can find the one closest to you or the one you feel is most qualified! Good luck!! :) *hugs* Anita Pre-op in Denver - Soon to have the DS with Dr Keshishian (Delano, CA)

The closest surgeons to you geographically are those at the LifeSHAPE clinic in Ocean Springs, MS. Telephone # 888-668-1212. However, you might want to look into the Cali doctor Ara Keshisian.. he sounds like an incredible surgeon and person. If Delano, Cali doesn't suit you, how about Dr Hess in Ohio or Dr Elinary in Virginia? There is also Dr. Dennis Smith Jr. in Georgia, but he has a very busy practice & it might take a while to get a consult. Don't give up just because you have to travel.. TRUST me, its worth the hassle!
