I really don't think that doing the revision could be the problem, because I know that a good percentage of Dr. Anthone's practice is made up of revising other surgeries to the DS.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Dawn, I am pretty amazed at all the research I've been able to do on the net! I imagine this is the most informed I've ever been on a procedure in my life. I sure as heck didn't totally understand my gastric stapling when I had it done 21 years ago! I am really grateful to everyone on this list for posting so much information. I love the personal aspect we get from the post ops like yourself. I feel much more confident about my decision after seeing and talking to you post op mentors! Thanks for helping and here's to the net!!
