It’s in the works but it’s a massive undertaking reading operative reports once we convince people to share, have a couple of reports on the same surgeon, etc. This would be easy if it wasn’t for the Modified 2 anastomoses DS (very long common channel) and the SADI-S.

I had the RNY with Dr. Boyce in 2009 and have maintained a 200+ lb weight loss. I only found out this weekend that he was no longer listed on their New Life Center For Bariatric Surgery website. Dr. Robert Williams was one of the surgeons then and is now listed as the primary surgeon. He may be an alternative since they practiced together. I had no idea Dr. Boyce had retired though and was wondering what happened...Sadly, I have just learned this morning that my vetted surgeon, Dr. Stephen Boyce in Knoxville TN has retired. I only know this because I contacted the office this morning to gather some information for a friend. I was told that he has retired but that they have two other surgeons. Now, I understand that this happens, but I was just in the office in November of last year and no one bothered to tell me that it had happened or that it was on the horizon. This man has saved my life…twice now.
I’m at a loss because I don’t know what to do moving forward. He was very adamant and I was very compliant in not really allowing anyone else to touch me surgically unless it was an emergency. I have no idea what to do now if something happens involving my DS.
Regardless, it’s good information for the group to update the vetted list with.
That is disappointing and they sure dropped the ball.
Dr Ng is amazing, love his talent and knowledge. Use him you won’t be disappointed.
He’s there.
Dr. Coates is actually a SADI surgeon not a DS surgeon. There is a difference between the two surgeries.
