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.

I don't know if you have heard, but Dr. Sanchez passed away last week.
