I had revision December 14th. No reflux. I love my sleeve.

Excellent doctor. He was my surgeon in December.

I put in the max last year and used it to pay towards my sleeve.

I ended up going to Mexico. I used Dr.Altamirano. I wish you the best on your journey.

Rest and recover. It will get better.

I had lapband to sleeve surgery the same day,Dec 14th. I wish you the best. Don't feel like you don't belong. I am sure their is someone else with same story as yours. My band did not slip but I was constantly having problems and having to get adjustments.

I am scheduled for December 14th.

Congrats on reaching a huge milestone.????

@Dr.Altamirano

Dr.Altamirano is the doctor I will be using in Mexico. Feel free to reach out to him and his team.

December 14 is my surgery day.

I am scheduled for December 14th with Dr.Altimarino. I am looking forward to living a healthier life. I am a nurse and I have yet to find a doctor that will take the time to have a conversation on the phone with a potential patient. During my research I found videos on YouTube where he talks about obesity. To me he has a passion for helping patients live a healthy and active life style. I am working to lower my BMI and anytime I need him I just message him on Facebook. He responds rather quickly unless he is tied up with surgery. My best friend had surgery back in August and has done well. She is already down 60 pounds. I wish you the best in your search. You could definitely schedule surgery with your wife and the both of you share the journey together. Also you stay 2 days in hospital and 2 days at recovery house,which is included in the price. We have a really supportive group on FB.

My date is December 14,2015.

I am going to Mexico. I used money in my FSA (medical) and took the rest I saved up.Surgery is paid and flight is booked. I am just waiting for my date.

If you have went to OB GYN and discussed weight they can not deny you your medical records. I am sure they weighed you. It would be easier for them to write a letter indicating your weight than to copy all of your records. Also have you been to a orthopedic doctor? They can weigh heavily on the approval also especially if you have joint pain.

I am using Dr.Carlos Altamirano. I agree with previous post.Research doctor first along with location then allow them to give you their financing info. Dr.Altamirano will be doing my surgery in December. I made my last payment a few weeks ago.

Enhanced drivers license? I am almost certain that is what I have.

Keep us posted.Pray everything works out.

@ryebread: congratulations. Keep me posted. I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 14th.

I am having surgery in Mexico using Dr.Altamirano. Price starts at $4199.

I was originally investigating another doc until by dear friend found Dr.A. She had done through research and had a Skype consult. She was sold. Well being that we are both nurse I figured I needed to shift gears and look into Dr.A. Well I did. He answers every question I had. My friend is 3 weeks post op and doing great. I am planning for December because of kids school schedule. Dr.A truly seems to have a passion for what he does.Oh he sent me a happy 40th birthday message through FB. You will love him. I can't wait to meet him and share my journey with him.

Congrats

Dr.Altamarino will be doing my revision. Removing the band and sleeving me at the same time.
