Glad you came over. I know you from the other site. You'll find a lot of DSers here.

Hi there and welcome. What are you revising from? I went from VSG to DS.
Hi, @tabby1121, welcome! I am having a revision from RNY to DS on July 13th. What type of revision are you having? Read a lot and listen carefully to the advice you get here. The vets are super helpful and very generous with information and advise.

@tabby1121 I have been in the DS community for about 10 years and have helped many people with insurance issues, so I (and @DianaCox and other people here) know who all the players in the DS community are, but I don't recall a Dr. Sharp. Do you have any information about him, such as location, experience with the DS (if any) etc?
Most bariatric surgeons don't do the DS, so if this is someone who doesn't, don't waste your time with him.
Also, it's VSG, not VGS, and VSG is another name for the sleeve, which I believe is what you already have. So I think you are hoping to revise from sleeve to DS, right? Bottom line, you need a surgeon who actually does the DS.
