Morning folks,

1. Has anyone had a RNY revision in Maryland? If yes, by what surgeon?

2. Has anyone had RNY to DS revision by a Maryland based surgeon? If so, who?

3. How laborious is the insurance approval process.

You can literally count the number of surgeons with experience doing RNY to DS revisions on one hand. It is a rare and extremely risky surgery. Don't have anyone do it unless they have serious experience.

Check on the DS board. They have the names of the few people you might consider. But this is not something you should consider except as a very last resort.

Thank you Grim Traveller. Boy Hag, that handle is something (lol) but I'm sure is contains loads of sentiment for you.

I will check the DS board. Have a great day

Do you know if you had a distal or proximal RNY procedure? From reading here, it sounds like proximal is more common. It also sounds like the distal is closely related to the DS. You might want to google all this and/or find out what you had. I did and found out I had the distal RNY which prompted me to go to the DS forum and learn a thing or two there. Good Luck, Toya.
