Looking for a list of recommendation DS Surgeons outside of the UK

I'm in the UK, but looking to pay privately for a DS abroad..

Any ideas anyone?

The DS docs I'm most familiar with are out here in California - John Rabkin in SF, his older brother did my wife's DS about 20 years ago and he did my VSG 13 years ago, so we are quite familiar with their program and satisfied with the results and service. There is also Ara Keshishian in the LA area who is also quite good - he adopted Rabkins local LA support group as the Rabkins moved to SF, and we have been impressed with his knowledge in the many discussions that we have had as a group (dssurgery.com). Both cater well to travelling patients as DS surgeons are still few and far between.

If I was on the east coast, I would check out Mitchell Roslin in NYC; though he seems to be most heavily promoting the SADI/"loop DS" these days, he still seems to be a firm advocate of the legacy Hess DS for those who need that.
