There is a resource to answer your question right here at Obesityhelp. I used it all the time to share the various types of surgeries with others. I hope it helps you. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/m-urgerytypes.phtml

Here are my 2 fave sites for the DS or BPD/DS or Duodenal switch surgery. www.mywls.com and www.duodenalswitch.com The best of luck. You have to choose the surgery that is right for you and for me this was the DS I would never have dreamed how great this surgery could bee. I can still eat normaly, no one can tell I have has surgey (unless I want to tell them). I would swear by this surgery.

Just another option to look into. I am having LAP Band surgery (also known as AGB - Adjustable Gastric Band) in NY. My doctor has a website (http://www.drgeiss.com)that shows a video of both the bypass and lap-band surgeries being done (it is really not gross at all. My Mom in Ocala Florida (not far from you) is looking into using dr Jawad for Lap Band surgery as well. I wish you lick and please let me know if you have any questions.
