Lapband Refills for bands fitted overseas

Hello! This question is not for me but for someone else.
This person (UK citizen) had her lapband fitted in Belgium with Dr Bruno Dillemans, and now she is moving to Pennsylvania at the end of this year.
The band that is used over there is a Heliogast band, whereas in the States most bands are Inamed, and some American refill consultants won't refill any other band.
Does anyone know of any place where she can get a refill in or around Pennsylvania? (NY, NJ, Delaware, etc) If there is anyone who was in the same situation, please let us know!
Thank you for your help!
