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.

Hi, only thing I have read that can help is doing a pouch reset diet. There are a few online available. Hope this helps. I pray you can get back in the losing weight stage. Take care
Hey Pete,
Thanks for letting me know about the blood clotting rest - shall talk to my doctor about this.
I shall also lookout for my B6!
Take care _/\_
Thanks for your reply.
That's a very good idea - buying a years supply - I do that too.
Thankfully I managed to get Dry tender A from vitalady.
Take care
