My mom got a lap band and is looking for another Doctor, Alfonso Torquati is her doctor now.
She goes to Durham Regional Hospital. She has Medicare and needs a fill, but would really like a revision. Can any one help?

Why are you changing from Torquati?

Since your mother has Medicare, she'll probably need to go to a ASMBS Center of Excellence for them to cover her procedures. The two in the Triangle are Duke at Durham Regional Hospital and Rex Health in Raleigh on Lake Boone Trail.

I hope that helps.
