Doe's anyone know who is reputable in Mexico to do revision surgery from RNY to DS. Ive read that Dr Ungson is no longer doing it as he took a government job. Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance !

One of Dr. Ungson's associates has taken over for him. I can't tell you much about him.

I'll PM his name to you if you want; people are slowly beginning to have the DS done by him and posting about it.

I'm in the process of having my last clearance for revision surgery. Still undecided with revision surgery is the best to have. I hear the Duodenal Switch is the best. im looking forward to hear from everyone who has had revision surgery good and bad..

You might want to look into the SIPS version of the DS. It's a modified DS: less risky, easier for the surgeon to perform with less malnutrition. It only uses one intestinal incision instead of two.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
