Where to go for info on revision

[dawn4511]

Hello all,
I was just curious where everyone gets there information now adays. Back when I first started it OH and then when I started looking into DS i used DS facts but it doesn't seem to work anymore. So just wondering where do you find your info such as diet, vitamins and so on? Is there any sites you've come across that has bad information?

Thanks so much Dawn

Hi Dawn and welcome! You'll probably find the best DS information here, for all of the above - eating, vitamin/supplements, labs, insurance, surgeons, revisions. DSfacts.com has been down, but the important info is also here. The Proboards format is not quite as search friendly, but you can read several 'sticky' threads here that will be helpful, including the one we just started on revision surgeons. And of course, take a look here through the revision board. Which surgeon you choose has a lot to do with what procedure you are revising from; the RNY revision is the most complicated of them all because the RNY has to be completely undone, and then, a DS is done. Some lapband revisions have been very complex due to the damage. Going from a VSG to a full DS isn't considered a revision, it's more a stage 2 DS, though the sleeve should be thoroughly checked out, might need resleeving depending on how long ago it was done.

There are several of us 'revisionistas' here on the board, including myself. Ask away!
