Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Hi Marilou! Congrats on finding the best wls there is! I was shocked too when I was all ready for the RNY and then accidently stumbled upon this group.....I agree with you....who would want the RNY when the DS is the best there is to offer? There were no surgeons in my state either (Idaho) so we had to travel to Portland, Oregon to get it done last Nov.....both my husband and I had it done at the same time. Check out duodenalswitch.com and look for surgeons on there. That will tell you approx the closest ones to you. Good luck in your search and Im glad you found us!
