In 2005 I had a local Specialist perform a non adjustable banding .. He also performed a new procedure, wrote a paper on it and shortly after left the country. 

I need a Great Bariatric surgeon to fix this. Anyone have suggestions, please?

what is the procedure he did on you? It makes a difference in how complicated a revision may be, and there are only a very few surgeons that are good at doing real revisions.

He actually decided to move my anastomosis to what he considered a ... More scenic location? I am not sure if that is a procedure or simple a ... "That would look cool over there!" Impulse..

Gosh, if I were you, I'd make sure I had the surgical notes, and even a copy of the paper he wrote on the procedure. People get revised from one surgery to another all the time, but if you need to, or have any other issues, it's a big deal if a new treating dr doesn't really know what you have going on, and hard to determine completely without cutting you open.
