Documentation on DS vs RNY

[Guest guest]

Hi, Pam --

I had to piece my own together. Read all you can about the RNY and how it

is put together, and then how the DS is put together, then look at the

stats and specifically look at the percentages of excess weight loss and

maintenance. You could cite the peer review literature (available in one

place for DS in a .pdf file in duodenalswitch.com, very nicely in one

place, thanks !) I have written something but have yet to do the

citations. Then you try to see the differences and write it down. Chris

Hull has very good understanding and if you look at his aetna letter he

breaks it down very well.

I would like to see more stats on the RNY in one place, if anyone knows....

Hey, I was wondering if somebody could tell me IF and WHERE I might be able

to fight actual documention (meaning a published doctor's report on line

somewhere) that shows that the DS is a better surgery than the RNY?? I know

that WE all believe it is, but I am trying to convince someone else who would

like to see an actual doctor's report. I vaguely remember people talking

about reports that have been published and are internet accessible. So if

any of you could direct me to where I might find this info, I'd greatly

appreciate it!!
