Our surgeon in Atlanta, GA, Dr. J.K. Champion, offers laparascopic adjustable lap banding, as well as proximal RNY and VBG. He is one of the pioneers of lap WLS and one of the initial few doctors in the US who were approved by the FDA to trial the lap banding procedure when it was new. His web site is www.drchampion.com. Best wishes!

Hi! I believe that Dr. Eric S. Bour in Greenville, SC does the adjustable gastric band. I know for a fact that he was working with the maufacturer of the device to become approved to use it. You can reach his office at 864-240-5035. Kim can tell you if he is actually performing the procedure yet. By the way--Dr. Bour has one of the best overall programs--no matter which surgery you choose--around. You can also check out his website at www.bariatricsolutions.com
