Audra - There is this awesome surgeon at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's
Hospital in Chicago. He is a first rate bariatric surgeon! He also does
all other forms of gastroenterological surgeries. His name is Dr. James
Madura
of the Affiliated Clinical Surgeons group at 1725 West Harrison Street,
Suite 818, Chicago IL 60612 - His office phone is 312-942-6511. Although
his specialty is RNY Laparoscopic, he is available for all other gastro
consults. Good luck and let him know I referred you. Sincerely, Midge
Ruhl

You may want to try the University of Illinois. Also there are a couple of
surgeons there who are experienced at doing revisions from RNY to DS. You
may want to investigate the option of a DS revision since your other wls
failed you. Please join us here at the OH DS forum or go to
duodenalswitch.com to learn more about a revision to a DS.
