Question:
I'm seeking a surgeon for Gastric Banding

I live close to Wichita, Kansas and need to find a surgeon within 200 miles for Gastric Banding. Because I have multiple medical problems, my doctors want me to have the Gastric Banding procedure, instead of the common Gastric Bypass. I have searched and searched, but been unable to find any doctors performing this procedure.    — Delight P. (posted on December 31, 2002)

Go to http://inamed.com/contact/bio_patient.cgi and fill the form out and check the part about doctors in my area. This is the manufacturer of the band and they oversee the training of all the docs so they know. They will get back to you soon. I love my band! If you'd like more info or some great internet resources I have gathered, contact me. M
