This is a highly complex surgery that not many surgeons in the US actually do. If Im not mistaken, I do believe that perhaps Dr. Buchwald in Minnesota performs RNY to DS revisions. I am not sure if Dr. Kemmeter from Michigan does revisions, but you can always check with his office in Grand Rapids (I think). The reality is that you may have to travel to have surgery. Either New York (Drs. Roslin and perhaps Dr. Greenbaum), Texas (Dr. Stewart), Utah (Dr. Simper), or California (Drs. Keshishian and Rabkin.

Dr. Kenmeter has an excellent reputation and may have started doing RNY to Ds revisions, I'm not sure. Definitely someone to check on, and let us know what you find out.
If not Dr. Kenmeter, Dr. Buchwald in MN is probably closest, and the other names have already been provided.

There are very few. I had a consult with Dr. Buchwald, and I did like him very much. He tried to urge other conversions on me, but when I said, no, only RNY to DS, he was perfectly fine.
If you are self-pay, however; UMN seems to want a pretty penny. The estimated, documented cost was $60K. Somewhere I posted that letter.
