Question:
Does anyone know of a Dr. who does BPD/DS in the Houston area?

If not, how about a Dr.in Austin or Dallas?    — [Anonymous] (posted on May 17, 2000)

Unfortunately no... not any that we know of. Logistically, the closest DS surgeon to TX is in Biloxi, MS and then Atlanta, GA. if you are sure that this is the surgery for you and you can manage, then it's ok to travel to get the surgery you want. Several of us DS patients have travelled long and far to get our surgeries. I went from Germany to Spain, others have gone from FL to NY, VA to NY, IL to OR, AK to OR and on and on. Check out www.duodenalswitch.com for a complete list of surgeons currently doing the DS. If you need anything, please feel free to email me.
