Any doctors that remove band and do revisions

Thanks Dr. C. Do you do the VSG or RNY -- any thoughts on advanatges/disadvantages of those? thanks!

I do both, although I have a lot more experience with RNY. It's pretty easy for an experienced band/bypass surgeon. If you have bad heartburn issues the RNY is probably better, if not I'd lean towards sleeve.

I live in the North Carolina area. I found a Dr. Rutledge that does the MGB but he is from Las Vegas, My concern is the follow up.

To be really honest your concern should be the doctor you refer to. He has a pretty bad reputation and the medical community kinda laughs, giggles, and points when discussing him.

No way would I go to him. But then I wouldn't have MGB either. But if I were to have MGB I would never in a million years go to Rutledge.

You sound wayyyy too tight. I'll bet you feel much better after you get some saline removed.
