Thanks for the info. I haven't heard anything from the daredevils, so I am not sure if they are still up to doing this.

Didn't one of the DS docs in your area retire this year? I thought I read that someplace. I wish there were more surgeons doing the DS as well. It's a solid, well studied option that should be out there for people. The RNY is a fabulous procedure, and I'm VERY happy with mine. That does not mean that it is appropriate for everyone, most definitely the people with super high BMIs. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, it requires additional skills and a bit more OR time. Many docs shy away from it for those reasons.
On another note, is there going to be a Walk From Obesity in ATL this year? We are having one here on 1 October.

I am just glad to see another DS surgeon in GA. I wish there were more, so people would have more choices and would not have to travel so far.

Dr. Chasen moving to Maui is, most certainly, their blessing. He is definitely missed by us all. Not only is he an outstanding surgeon, he is a good friend as well.
Our new surgeon, Dr. Glass, does not do the DS. Dr. Blaney is our DS surgeon. He performs the procedure laparoscopically, unless cir****tances mandate the procedure be open. He worked very closely with Dr. Chasen before he departed.
