@shizwiz I loved your post! Very informative and well written.  All the small details were helpful. I will be going to A Lighter Me in March, the 4th with surgery scheduled on the 5th. I'm have a revision done so I'm a little concerned about the recover and changes from my last surgery (Sleeve 2012) I have been following the Facebook for A Lighter Me and I have been impressed with all the positive responses. It seems to be a well tuned program.
 
I wish you much success!

I'm also looking at going to Mexico for sleeve revision. I'm finding it difficult to sift through all the information to make a final choice. On both procedure and doctor. What are you looking for to help make your decision? I'm feeling more apprehensive then the first time around. I had a text book surgery the first time and feeling like I might be pushing the odds a bit. I too have some side effects that have altered my life. The acid reflux is unreal and the disappointment of regain even with diet and exercise is heartbreaking. I'm also facing a lot of judgement for considering another surgery. Mostly from people that don't know me.
I hope you find good info to help make your decision...

I am doing research for a doctor in Mexico for a sleeve revision. I currently have a LapBand and have it since 2003. Have had one slip, and one replacement. I am with constant heartburn, at night sometimes I aspirate in my sleep with it. So, need to have it fixed. I am aware that Dr Ariel Ortiz does lots of revisions, and fixes hernias. Does he suture over staple line? Dr. Rodriquez? Does he do lots of revisions? If you have had one of these two doctors I would love to hear your story. Thank You so much

Are there any reputable surgeons near the Texas border for around the $5000 price point?
