I have had Lap Band surgery in 2004 by Dr. Rodolfo Sanchez in Mexico. I have had no problems with it but would like to have some regular check-ups with a doctor. Dr. Sanchez is a highly respected doctor and has performed thousands of the Lap Band operations.
I recently moved to Charlotte NC and cannot find a follow-up doctor. They mostly refuse to see anyone that has not had surgery by them or anyone having surgery outside the USA.
I did live in Indiana and was seeing Dr. Jeffrey Allen in Louisville Kentucky for my followups and adjustments.. He was one of the key doctors instrumental in getting the Lap Band approved in the USA.
Since I have moved it is difficult for me to go to him (more than 600 miles away) and I would like to find someone in the North Carolina or South Carolina area.
Does anyone know of any Lap Band doctors that would take another patient for follow-up visits or adjustments.
Thank you.
