I had my RNY open in 2006. I would like my revision done Lap.  I was curious if anyone has had their DS revison done Lap after an open RNY?

Both Rabkin and Keshishian, who are two of the best lap DS surgeons, will (as far as I know) ONLY do RNY to DS revisions open.  I would go with their recommendation myself.

I think open is safer. Dr. Greenbaum did mine open, and the scar is great, better than some plastic surgery scars.
