Has anyone had a revision done in Mexico? I had a lapband in the states in 2008 as a cash pay and am strongly considering a revision to a sleeve but can't afford the surgery here in the US and my insurance doesn't cover it. I know it is a more risky surgery to have a revision opposed to just the original surgery and want to get some feedback! If anyone has done a revision in Mexico who was your surgeon, what was the cost and how was your experience?

Thanks!

Hi I'm Paula I had a Lapband to sleeve done in Tiajuana Mexico April 8th by Dr almazo it cost 4500. It went very well and I'm very happy with my results. I went through the weight loss agents to schedule my procedure

I had a band put in in 2007. Saw Dr. Quinones on April 1 and had it removed and the sleeve done. No issues and no regrets.

My friend Denisse had a revision with Dr. Kelly and I had my sleeve done by him too. No regrets! Awesome surgeon!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
