I had lap band surgery in Mexico in 2003. LOVED it for 1  1/2 yrs. It eroded and I had to have it removed. I now live in Texas and would like to have the surgery again. I'm having a hard time finding a surgeon here who'll do it since  I had my first one done in Mexico
Anyone know a good Texas surgeon who does revisions or second banding ?  Thanks

Dr. David Syn does revisions, and he is an awesome Dr.! He is in Lubbock.

What part of Texas do you live in?

Are you absolutely set on getting another band?  I'm not trying to talk you out of anything, but I had my band removed in 2006, and wouldn't have another one if somoene paid me $100k to get it. (Mine didn't erode, but it slipped twice, and was just a horrible experience altogether).  I've just never spoken with anyone who had to have the band removed and opted for another one.

Still, I'm going to see my surgeon tomorrow for a follow-up, so I'll ask him if he does a band revision to another band and report back to you.  (He's in Austin).

Peace,

Jonathan

Not sure if Dr. Syn does revisions with another band, I'm thinking with RNY. Just call their office and check.
