DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION???
If you aren't having pouch issues and don't mind keeping the pouch (marginal ulcers, stomal plugging, dumping, etc.) then you COULD just go DISTAL RNY for the same weight loss results as DS. HOWEVER, the DS, with the naturally functioning stomach is much better for avoiding nutritional deficiencies than is a pouch on TOP of a lot of bypassed intestine.
However, all that is likely moot in that Vitalady says there's only 2 surgeons in the country that do a TRUE distal RNY. So you most likely need a full revision to DS.

Highest Known Weight = 370# / 59.7 bmi @ 5'6"
Current Weight = 168# / 26.4 bmi : fluctuates 5# either way @ 5'7" / more than 90% EWL
Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.
