Need revision! Need NJ Doc to do it! HELP PLEASE!!!

Hey guys! I need your help. I am 3 years post op open RNY (no GB removal). Bottom line (see profile for full details) is that I definitely now need my gall bladder taken out as I have developed stones since original surgery, but now finding out through testing that I may need a revision due to partial staple line disruption as well. My original surgeon is Dr. Salahi in NJ, but he has retired. I am going to see Dr. Abkin next Friday for consult, but I was told that although he'd be happy to consult with me he doesn't do revisions on surgeries that he didn't perform originally. I can kind of understand that but HELP! I've heard this is common, so does anyone know of a NJ bariatric surgeon who could help me?? I can't help it if mine retired. Also what is the recovery time for gall bladder removal plus revision due to SLD?? I'd like to hear from anyone who has had this done. Help please! Thanks!!!
