Question:
I need to find a DR. fast, I may be changing jobs and insurance

I had the VBG (I think it was the Sling) 15 years ago and a year after the surgery I had a larger band installed because of a blockage and throwing up everything for days at a time. Now I have gained back all 120 I had lost plus 40 more. I need to have surgery done again but it seems much harder to find a DR. willing to do it now. I don't want the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery, because of the dumping mostly. I just want what I had the last time, I'm sure the proceedure has improved. Because I may be changing jobs and Insurance, I need to get it done ASAP, and I just can't find anyone. I am willing to travel for the surgery but I really don't have the money for two trips. Any suggestions???    — [Anonymous] (posted on January 12, 2001)
