  1. Hi TM, Chekc out A light Me in Tijuana. Seems in my researching they are a great facility. Mid ranged price and I know 7 people who have been there. You can join their face book page. I am saving up $$$.
  2. PLEASE share your story and suggestions... There seem to be SO MANY places that advertise and have great reviews on website and on facebook.... However, I want the real deal from PEOPLE!!! The Good, bad and ugly... I am researching to have a revision. Thanks!!
  3. Nightmare #425,657,800 - Bless your heart! what a horrible experience. Please tell us how the band is working for you?
  4. YAY! I found you on IG! Following! XOXO UGH!!!!!!! Bless you ... All of the above sounds so real and ditto for me as well. Just tired of being sick and tired! Please keep me posted and let me know how you do with the sleeve revision. Did your Dr. suggest sleeve over By-pass?

  6. That's wonderful. I am proud for you. You are one of the few. Keep up the great work.
  7. Best of luck to you honey. In the US...not many Dr.'s are even doing them anymore. More and more revisions are being done because of complications.

  9. Where is he located? This is to remove the band and to do the sleeve all i the same surgery?
  10. Bless you - You sure have had a struggle with the band. Hopefully, this will be the new beginning and ticket for you. I've also checked into OCC - Dr. Ortiz... Is this where you are going? They quoted me a 6 night stay (Marriott) and revision - $9k total.
  11. What was the first step? I'm so lost and confused regarding this revision....

  18. Yeah - It's a theory of "What they don;t know" with all the new procedures out there. I was also told I'd have it for life. Did they leave your port in as well? Dr's here in Ga. are no longer doing them as well. HUM! Hoping your days to come will get better. Thanks for the update. I want to learn all I can.
