Revision with Greenbaum or Vanguri

[hopeful77]

I just wanted to than everyone for their continued support and for giving me very useful advice. I am in the process of starting the 6 month supervised diet and am still researching surgeons. I thought about Greenbaum because I read reviews and did some other research. I also thought about Vanguri who is also vetted, but has only performed 300 revisions (don't know yet how many have been RNY to DS).

I am at am impassed and do not know which surgeon to choose. I already posted for information regarding Greenbaum, but would like to hear about Vanguri in Baltimore.

Thanks in advance.

Greenbaum is the one in my book...but I don't know a thing about Vanguri.

If you're looking at doctors in Baltimore, you might want to go a little farther south and check out Dr. Elariny in Fairfax, Virginia. Never heard of Vanguri.

Never heard of Vanguri. That alone would put up red flags and have me running from him. For a RNY to DS revision, there are only a handful that I would trust my life with. I agree with checking out Elariny.

I doubt that Dr. Vanguri does full RNY-DS revisions. I've only heard of him doing virgin DS, and I don't think they are all that big a part of his practice.

I'd focus on Dr. Greenbaum or Dr. Elariny if I were in your shoes.
