Hello everyone, I am new here. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Acuna Mexico in 2004. I was never able to have a successful fill and have gained almost 80 pounds since my surgery. I want to have a revision to a sleeve, but do not know if a doctor here would do it. I do not have any kind of operative records or anything. I really want to get this thing out, I am constantly getting stuck and throwing up, I can't live like this anymore! Has anyone had a similar situation and had a surgeon here do it and insurance cover it? Any information or stories would be greatly appreciated! I am in South Bend, IN. Thanks so much!!
