Try Dr. Rob Schuster at Banner Gateway Hospital in Mesa. He is my surgeon and he takes a lot of people who have had their surgery elsewhere. He is fabulous! Good Luck- Lighterload

well im not in AZ so i couldnt help with doc referrals, but i see u said u are having alot of problems...is everything ok??? are u in pain?? I would be so upset, if i was having problems with my band and i was being refused it could bejust b/c they weren't the ones that got paid the big bucks for the procedure..... they seem to not be lookin at the big picture of their whole reason for being a doctor in this field...

Hi Fletch, i'm sorry you're having problems, people move and we all need medical anywhere we go so I don't understand. Kindof sounds like Orthodontists, hey dont like to see people who have existing work. But if you look youll find one.Well I just was banded last week and I feel blessed to have found Dr. Simpson in Phoenix, and I hope you will have luck there , tell him you came online and asked for help and that I recommend him highly he is one of a kind old fashioned type Doctor. My name is Sonya and just go to his website Dr.Simpson.net and email him. Goodluck.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
