I dont' want to scare you but many US surgeons may take you and offer fills/or unfills, but they WILL NOT help you if have complications, those are two different things.
My previous surgeon used to offer fills to those that went to Mexico, but one girl lap band eroded into her stomach and my surgeon would NOT remove her band, it was a legal issue, many surgeons are NOT obligated or will not take on the responsible of complications from a band they did not place. SO make sure you ask if they will help you if complications arise.
These types of issues has also driven up the complication rate with the band, because many surgeons will not offer afercare to those they did not band.
