My lap band doctor retired in 2009. How can I locate a new doctor for fills and progress?

I can't help but ask what you have been doing since your doctor retired in 2009.  Are you saying that you haven't had any follow-up in 5 years???  What you should have done was, as your doctor prepared to retire, ask him if he was turning his practice over to another doctor or if he could recommend a doctor for you.  Sounds like that train has left the station.Next you might ask your personal physician if he/she can recommend a bariatric surgeon for you.  That way you will have continuity of care between your family doctor and your new surgeon.  If that doesn't work, check with nearby hospitals to see if they have bariatric surgery programs and if they will be willing to see you.Finally, you can go on the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery website and search for a doctor near you who is willing to follow patients of other surgeons.
