Thank you for your assistance,

Answer
Hi Matthew:

Are you interested in having your RNY made more distal (bypass more intestines) or are you interested in revising to a DS? (If you don't know the answer, you might want to talk to RNY to DS revision on duodenalswitch.com and the DS forum on Obesityhelp.com as well as ERNY/Distal RNY revisions on the RNY and Revision boards on Obesityhelp.com :) )

If you're interested in an RNY to DS revision, I don't know of any surgeons in Massachusetts who do that... however, there are some in the Northeast who may be able to help.

Dr. Greenbaum, in southern NJ is very well regarded.  
1000 Salem Road

Dr. Schweitzer at Johns-Hopkins in MD does them as well.  He also has a great reputation.

Baltimore, MD 21224
Phone: (410) 550-3345

In NYC, Dr. Herron, Dr. Pomp, and Dr. Inabnet all do RNY to DS revisions.

For a more distal or extended RNY, try Dr. Lautz in Boston. (He's the name that keeps coming up as being very experienced and skilled.)  75 Francis St. Boston, MA 02115 Phone: (617) 732-6960  (I can't find a website for him, though.)

If that doesn't work, you can try Dr. Roslin in NYC at Lenox Hill.
110 East 59th Street, Suite 8A
New York, New York 10022
212-434-3285

Hope at least one of these works for you! If you think you're going to end up being a self-pay, let me know and I'll find some other options for you.

Kind Regards,
Karla
