Insurance Coverage

I know some insurance companies will pay for the lap-band surgery. But I have the opposite problem I need my eroding band taken out after 7 years of misery and only 20 lbs loss. I have learned one thing if you have a eating disorder like bingeing or bulimia the lap band is not for you. If you just have a over eating problem and don't mind being hungry then this is for you. I live in Arizona but had the operation done in Mexico, when I went to see the doctor down there he didn't like the idea I wanted it removed for any reason he gave me a hard time so I got scared to have him remove it. Now I can't find a doctor to remove it in Arizona, and my whole body is getting sicker and sicker rejecting it. I've fought a long and hard battle trying everything I was told to correctly use the band, but no matter what I did it was always the same throwing up so much it ruined my beautiful teeth, and never could get enough water down even though the band was let all the way out, so now I have kidney problems. If anyone knows of a doctor that would remove someone else's operation please let me know I'm desperate. gcravener2@hotmail.com. Thank you
