Can someone honestly give the CONS of the DS??

I have only seen the PROS. Some say it is more malabsorptive than the RNY, but this doesn't seem to be true. Less is bypassed and you keep most of your stomach. So- since it's been around since 1997, why aren't more surgeons doing this procedure? What's wrong with it? There are over 15 bariatric surgeons in my state and 2 of them teach different bariatric procedures around the world, but only one of them, not one of the teachers,(and he is the middle of nowhere) does this procedure. Any input??
