Lap-Band to VSG Drs. in MN (xpost to MB and VSG forum)

Does anyone know of any good ones?  My sister had the band in March '10.  Has never found enough restriction.  Everytime she thought she had, it caused her problems like not being able to even swallow saliva.  She is now with unfilled band due to other issues as well.  Her UGI showed esophageal dilation. 

She is considering revision to VSG.  However, the surgeon that did her band does not do VSG.  She changed jobs since then and has insurance but no bariatric coverage.  Are there any good surgeons with reasonable fees for cash-paying patients?  She lives in Eagin, MN.

Any info would be helpful.  Thanks.

 Have her talk to Dr. Henry Buchwald at the UofM Physicians.
If you cannot find contact info on the 'net, PM me & I'll send your way.

 Dr. Kelly at St Paul Surgeons did my sleeve gastrectomy at United.  I had insurance so not sure about case paying patient's but I'm sure they'd talk to you about it.
