Guest guest Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi .. congratulations on your date with Dr K... I am 8.5 years our from my DS. I also live east of the Mississippi... in Covington, Louisiana. It's worth the trip to Ca and Dr K. Best of luck... Betsy Hello, You guys don't know me yet, but I had an RNY in 2001 and of course, it has now failed. I flew out to California to see Dr K on July 6, and I am totally self pay so now I have my surgery date!! I will have the complete revision from the RNY to the DS on Sept 8, 2010. My daughter will accompany me for the event. She was so kind to take her vacation time and spend it with me while I have this done. Her husband, as well as mine, is very supportive. I love reading all your notes and blogs and get lots of inspriation from y'all. I live in Georgia, near Savannah so this is quite a trip for us. Until my recent trip to see Dr K, I had never been west of the Mississippi. In all my research, I found only three surgeons that are truly experienced with this complete revision. I did not want to go to Detroit and the one in New Jersey is not taking new patients for at least six months. After all is said and done, I know that Dr K is the one for me. I absolutely enjoyed my visit with him and I have never felt that way about a doctor before. He's the bomb!!! Anyway, I hope to keep you informed about my progress.
