Need an Arizona surgeon

Hi, I'd like to have a converson from a band (lost 50, retained 30) to a VSG.  My surgeon in Arizona doesn't do VSG.  Dr. Blackstone does VSG, but when I called her office I was told that she wouldn't see me because I already have a surgeon in Arizona (even though he doesn't do VSG).  I just don't get this.  The one other Arizona surgeon I consulted who can do a VSG won't do it by laprascopy (only open).  Any advice is appreciated. 

I dont know why Dr. Blackstone turned you down...  I dont know why that is?   Dr. Feng at Good Sam

  sorry to hear  Dr Blackstones office turned you down - might be a good thing -- since her wait can be a long time.  Ionce was turned down by her office too. 

Lots of  other great surgeons in Phx metro area.   Check out  Dr's Schlesinger & Simon   in Tempe or Dr Fang & Dr Juarez  in Phoenix .  I believe there might be a couple more in the east valley area.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

look for Dr E Schlesinger- look him up & read up on him - known for revisions & excellent. He has a new office in Tempe & I am looking for him again too- I almost had it done by him 3 years ago but now I am ready . .

found his new tel#s  480 968-346 & 968-6007  as I read further on the board here . . .
