Switching Doctors?

Hey all.

This post is being made made me in the search for information by my boyfriend and myself. I'm just the more tech savvy of us, haha

He has had his band for about five years now and since we have been back together the last two, he seems to be exhibiting all of the symptoms of having his band too tight. He wants to get the band removed, but he's still paying it off. So he says money is too huge of a factor there. I have asked him about getting an unfill and he says that costs money he doesn't have right now either.

However, he says he HAS tried calling his surgeon's office to talk to them and they seem to constantly give him the run-around (i.e. calling with no one answering during business hours multiple times a day any day of the week he's tried -- I honestly don't know what their answering machine situation is, but if he's left messages, they still haven't called back).

So he's wondering what it takes to switch doctors. Will other Lap Band doctors take over another patient fills/unfills and all?
