i do not know the reason it failed, my assumption is that the doctor i went to does better with virgin sleeves than the band to sleeve. i know several other people (virgin sleevers) who went to him and have done fine, i read about another person on here in my same situation who went to the same doctor and had to have hers done again after her revision.
i have been in contact with dr kelly through email and i wanted him to do my last surgery but i saved a few bucks by going to the other guy. i dont want to make that mistake again, but they are both very close in price and people speak highly of both of them so im confused and hope to find someone who has had a resleeve with either of them.

I'm in Oklahoma city, I just had a sleeve revision done in Dallas last week.

I had surgery on 1/15/13. I stayed in the hospital 4 days alone. It wasn't that bad, a little boring though. I did have my mom and daughter to come home to but honestly I think you have an advantage being alone. The hardest part for me was the first few days at home. The other people in my house had to eat, and seeing their food and smelling it had my crying like a baby for days! I'm doing fine now, their food doesn't bother me anymore, but its still hard mentally. Don't worry you can do this alone. You will be feeling a little better each day, and before you know it being alone in this won't be an issue. Besides you have all of us here at VST

i wish i could go with you on the 7th. i went alone the last time and it wasnt terrible but it wasnt great either. im hoping to go in june.....hoping.

Who did your sleeve? I'm just now looking into having the band out and sleeve and didn't know that could happen. I'm going to Tijuana and was thinking Dr. Garcia but really don't want that to happen to me. Is that who you used? I'm sorry to hear that.
