I have been told by another surgeon for revision from RNY he recommends 1) ERNY 2) BPD, and 3) DS. What is involved with BPD procedure?

Hello. Take a deep breath. Get your reading glasses and grab a seat. You have A METRIC SHIT TONNE of reading to do.

And it's Scopinaro.

Your surgeon doesn't know how to do an RNY to DS revision.

Really...start at the top and keep reading.

And - the BPD is no longer considered standard of care, is irreversible, and I would immediately fire any doctor who would suggest it as a viable option.
