I am located in Bowling Green, KY. At the time I had my LapBand Surgery, I was unaware of any WLS in my area. So I had mine done in Louisville, KY (about 2 hours away). Now, with our limited budget and rise in gas prices (since 2010), we are not financially able to travel to Louisville anymore. I haven't been back to my Surgeon for a long time. Recently had an (upper) endoscopy done and found out through that, that my Band has slipped and is not working. Good reason why I stopped losing weight! I had stopped losing the last couple of visits to my Surgeon and he did adjustments, but I still, stayed where I was, STUCK! I tried to get the Bariatric Weight Loss Clinic here in Bowling Green to take me as a transfer patient, even after my DX with the scope. They refuse to take me as a transfer patient or at all! Bowling Green is funny like that! The doctors here get offended if you see a doctor out of the area. I believe this is why they won't take me. Does anyone know of any bariatric WLS doctors in or around Bowling Green, KY (other than the one I told about previously), even if it's as far as Nashville, TN. That's still a lot closer than Louisville! Hope someone can give me some information and advice! Thank you!

I'm not near you but bariatric docs make their income off the surgery and accepting patients with existing issues/conditions is rarely done most anywhere.

There are some who will, but you have to call them all. If you have a PC, go to the top of this page and click on surgeons and search for surgeons in your area.
