I wish I could be of more help to you, but I live in Texas. There are excellent surgeons everywhere, just take some time and do some research. I had a Lap-band in 2004, lost about 50 pounds and could never loose more. I went in for a slip repair and came out with no band...I was divestated! Over the next few months, I gained most of my weight back. I finally opted for the gastric sleeve, and it has been a real blessing. The weight loss has been much faster, no fills, no spitting up, no port, it's just wonderful. I am only 20 pounds from goal. Don't give up! You will find the right surgeon. Best of luck!

Pull down "Forums," above, go to "Surgical Forums," then to "Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forum." You may find more information there. Best of luck.
