Reversal of lap band procedure

Question
Do you do lap band REVERSAL?
If so can you give me some information about yourself and the procedure?
Thanks - Eileen

Answer
Eileen,
Thanks so much for writing.  I do perform Lap-Band reversal procedures, and I think that most experienced bariatric surgeons also perform this procedure.

I appreciate your request for information about me, but I try to keep this forum focused on non-promotional information and also not about me.  Nevertheless, you are welcome to check my website at www.ndwls.com for more information.  While on the website, you may want to review information about the gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve, since it may be useful to accomplish one of these procedures at the time of Band removal.

The information attached with your question indicates that you are in New York.  As a general principle, I think it is smart to have your medical care (including surgery) close to your home.  There are many very skilled bariatric surgeons in the New York area (in NYC and also statewide); I suggest you connect with your primary physician to get a referral to an experienced bariatric surgeon who practices close to you.

Best of luck!

Dr JP
