Hello Friends, I had my original Band done by Dr. Ren at NYU in 2007. I LOVED her and that office. Unfortunately at the beginning of the year my band malfunctioned and it has a leak. It's basically like having no band at all. I haven't felt restriction in almost a year. So I have gained back 48 pounds already and it's awful!! I need to have a revision done but I just moved to LA and I need a surgeon here. I would fly back to NYU but I need an office with aftercare close by and fills/unfills...you guys know the drill. So any suggestions PLEASE!!!! I'm so desperate!

Look up Dr. Madan he is Really good and you can tell him that Deborah Welch refered you he is in Long beach Costa Mesa and I think Los Angeles also he has a E mail , Facebook and you Can find out numbers for him and he will listen also in Orange county is Dr. Oliak he is also pretty good but I prefer my surgeon Dr. Madan.
