Hi Lee - what made you pick Dr Rabkin vs Dr K and I am sorry your recovery was so difficult. How long ago was it and how are you doing now. Thx
Thank you for your response. I understand the changes that have to be made. Congratulations to your son for losing over 100 pounds! I hope to get there too!

I had a revision from a RNY to a DS with Dr. Rabkin, because I researched that he and Dr. Keshishian were the top two and I wanted the best. He is the most confident, amazing surgeon and I had zero issues with my surgery. It was a super hard recovery.
Good luck on your revision.
Thx Janet. Why are there not many DS surgeons left? I thought it was getting more and more popular as the gold standard for both losing and keeping weight off.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am sorry you experienced issues but happy you are good where you are now.
I'm confused. Why are you suggesting a pouch reset. This is a DS forum so unless I missed something, she doesn't have a pouch. There's not such a thing as a sleeve reset.

In my opinion you're not eating enough. You're starving yourself. Why are you only eating twice a day? You should be grazing all day, but on appropriate DS-friendly foods. Up your protein. Snack on protein.

You've already heard from others. Dr. K and Rabkin have been around for as long as I have (my DS was 2003). There aren't many DS surgeons left. Rabkin was in NYC for years. I have several friends who had successful DS surgery with Rabkin. My surgeon (Elariny) is from that era of DS surgeons and he still practices in northern VA.
