  1. I went in on 9/11 to have my band of 2 years removed and a sleeve done. The DR said there was a lot of scar tissue & that the band had erroded a hole in my stomach. I had to have about 10 stitches to close the hole. He did not do the sleeve. :( I had a tube down my throat for 2 days and still have a drain in my side. I'm still in the hospital (4 days later) so I guess it was pretty serious. Anyway' date=' he said he does not recomend the sleeve for me, ever. Because the risks outweigh the benifits. He said there are probably some doctors out there who would do it, but he feels the stomach is never going to be strong enough for the sleeve. Needless to say, I'm depressed. Has anyone had something similar? And what did you do?[/quote']

    I'm having my revision on sept 26. I had a hike also and erosion with my band. We will see how it goes.


  2. What makes one doc in Mx charge 6800 for all inclusive sleeve surgery meanwhile many others do same thing for 4800 and less? All have drivers come get you from airport. You and a guest have accommodations etc' date=' what's the difference? This is the only thing that scares me about Mx.[/quote']

    The Dr I have charges 4200 its a special for the month of sept and Oct. You just pay airfair. 5 days and you go home. Great deal!
