Need to find a good surgeon in the US



Recommended Posts

I got a Swedish 8 cc band in South Africa, where I am living, May 2011, and the band is not working at all. There is very little difference between before and now. I feel something in the morning, sometimes, but usually, there is no difference between now and before surgery. My surgeon here is not interested in trying to figure out why the band is not working. Personally, I think the band is too large. My BMI was 35 when I got the band and I think it is just too large.

I would like to find a surgeon in the States, who would be willing to help me find out why it is not working and perhaps replace the band with one that will work with my anatomy. So, I am looking for someone who has had problems with their band and a surgeon who has been willing to help them figure out what was wrong and correct it. Are there surgeons out there like that?

Thank you,

Vu

I think if you find a Center of Excellence, and talk to them, you'll be able to get what you need.

Look on Google, there are many listed. I hope you find what you want. Good luck
