Thank you so much! Any particular surgeon you would recommend?

Thank you so much for responding! I’m so glad surgery second time around was successful and your losing weight. If you don’t mind me asking where and who did you get your re-sleeping done from and what were your costs this time around?

No I have not. Is that mini gastric bypass? I don’t think I am interested in that as I don’t have much more to lose and just want a touch up on my sleeve if possible. I have emailed you with my questions

I just emailed you back

Hi Bill is their an email I can contact you at where I can send you my questions and get more information on surgery?

Hello to all sleevers!! It has been a very long time since I have posted here. Lately I’ve been lurking around because I have some questions regarding being re-sleeved. First let me give you some back story. I was sleeved about 7 years ago. Had amazing success! I did self pay in Mexico through a surgeon in Cancun Dr Perez. He was a wonderful the surgery went well I had no complication or issues. Lost tons of weight and kept it off. I am now pregnant with my second child and most likely my last. I have definitely put on some weight in the last two years mostly due to pregnancies but I have definitely noticed I am able to eat so much more and so much more often then I used too. I was also aware that my surgeon at that time did not use the smallest bougie but a little larger one because bmi was on the lower end. I hope I can just get the remaining weight off myself but in case I gain more or I can’t get my restriction back I would like to look into options into re-sleeving. Or at least what surgeons are available to do it? What the costs are for re-sleeving now? Anyone have good or bad experiences.? My Old coordinators email is not active anymore (it’s been 7 years) but she was amazing she also lined up surgery for my mom and best friend who also did self pay in Mexico and had amazing results and are maintaining. I wouldn’t be considering surgery till June or July of 2019. But I wanted to start doing some research now and wanted to get all the info necessary for me to make an informed decision if I needed too. Oh and to all of you in doubt or planning to get sleeved but debating....it was the best damn thing I ever did changed my entire life!! I felt amazing had tons of energy and was committed to living a healthy lifestyle. It is just a tool but if you utilize it you will reap great benefits! If anyone out there has any info you can help me with or any coordinators you recommend I can reach out to inquire more info I would really appreciate any response. Thanks in advance!

Actually my situation was a little different. I have a low bmi (31) and they said I didn't need to do a pre op diet I just cant eat anything too heavy the night before and need to keep and empty stomach for 9 hours before surgery. I'm actually be at a wedding the night before so I'm gonna try to keep dinner simple and have not of fluids that day. Most people have had to do a pre op diet. I actually booked the surgery less then 2 weeks ago so it was kinda last minute. But I'm pretty healthy otherwise so Dr. Perez said it would be fine.

Yea I know what you mean definitely a tough decision. I am getting sleeved Aug 15 so I will definitely keep you updated on the experience, surgery, hotel, hospital etc. My mom just confirmed today and will be getting sleeved on Aug 29 in TJ. I will keep you updated on her experience as well and hopefully that will help in your decision.

No my mom is actually going to be in TJ with Dr.Garcia. She is having a band to sleeve surgery. The flights were cheaper to get to TJ then Cancun, We are coming from Canada. It worked out well for me because I am going to be in Cancun for a wedding and vacation anyways that's why I booked with Dr. Perez. Yes I will definitely keep you updated!

I will be going to Cancun to see Dr. Hector Perez for surgery.

I believe he was having a summer special. Try inquiring now, I was quoted $5550. I'm getting sleeved exactly one week from today! I'm excited nervous etc. I'll let you know how it goes if your interested in using Dr. Perez. My mom is getting sleeved on Aug 29 with Dr. Garcia I've heard good things about him as well.

Has Secretsleeve posted on her experience? Is there any way of getting in touch with her?

My BMI is 31. I don't have that much too lose. Approx 50 to 60 lbs. I don't think I've ever been that small but generally I am healthy. No medical concerns. I'm 26. I'm actually going to be on another resort so will be leaving from there on the morning of the 15th and arranging a ride to cancun. I'm about 50 min outside of cancun. After surgery 2 nights at the hospital and then one night at the hotel. I am planning to return to the original resort and then fly back on the sunday with the group I came with. They don't know I'm going for surgery I'm wondering if I should tell someone just in case. My mom is the only one that knows but she's not going to be in mexico.

Hey Faith4me Yeah the post op pain is what worries me a little too. Well I am planning to take a laptop with me hopefully wi-fi is available. I will def post my experience up and let you know how it all went. I've been reading up on Dr. Perez he's been in the doing surgeries for a while and just joined their Cancun team which is a new setup. Are you doing a pre op diet of some sort? Alma told me I didn't need to do anything. Is this normal?

Hi I just joined the forum. My name's Anita. I came across your thread and noticed you are booked with Dr. Perez. I am planning to book surgery with him on aug 15. I am travelling alone as well. I am REALLY nervous and feel I might be rushing it. But I'm going to be in mexico anyways for a friends wedding in puerto morelos so thought I would just do it. I am coming from Canada. Basically I just wanna know if anyone else has had experiences with Dr. Perez. How was the surgery? Recovery? Hospital and Staff. If you could share your experience that would be amazing!
