hi everyone! im trying to find a doctor in mexico where i can have a band to sleeve revision. i had my band placed in mexico originally due to price. price is a huge factor for me and i can not afford to do it here in the states. i am wanting to hear everyones story who had a band to sleeve revision or even just a sleeve done in mexico. can you please tell me who did your surgery, how much it cost and what your experience was like? thank you in advance!! shaundra

Dr. Aceves! Love him, great Drs, great nurses, clean hospital. Better care than here in the US. Cost was 8750 for sleeve I think it's a little more for band but he's great with band to sleeve revisions.

Try typing in the doctor's name your are researching on Youtube. Some of the doctors have patients with testimonies. Good luck. I hope you are able to get your revision. I know how hard it is to have a failed band. I am so ready to get rid of mine!

becca, who is doing your surgery? are you getting band to sleeve revision?

I did have my first surgery in Monterrey, but I now have insurance coverage. I thankfully found a doctor that would take me and revise my band to the sleeve- Dr. Nowzaradan in Houston, TX. I really like him and he has lots of experience with revisions.

Hi,

I was considering Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Tijuana for my band to sleeve plication revision,

however, my band replacement will be covered by insurance so I'm using a doctor here

in California. I've used both Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Lopez-Corvala for band adjustments,

although I didn't have my surgery with them. I found them both to be knowledgeable and

well qualified. If you look on Youtube you will find lots of information for all three doctors.

Hope that helps!

PS - the price I was quoted were closer to 9K for band removal and sleeve plication.

I think Dr. Rodriguez was about 8K.

Good luck to you!

You'll find many happy sleeved people here who have gone to dr. aceves. Look for a thread called "lets count

Dr. Aceves patients in the search bar. He is very experienced in band to sleeve revisions.

Dr. Kelly does the band to sleeve revision at a very good price, you might want to e-mail him to get a price quote. I understand about the price too, I was self pay for my lap band, self pay for all lap band complications, and now that my band is gone I'll be self pay for my sleeve, so price is always on my mind.

hi vickie, i did speak to dr kellys coordinator and i am sold. she was so nice and helpful, i havent booked a date yet due to finances but it will be in the next few months. dr kellys training was impressive and i feel completly safe going to him. have you set a date yet? or decided on your doctor? keep me posted please.

Dr. Aceves- hands down!

Also when i had my surgery- there was someone there who was a 3rd time surgery patient- band to sleeve by someone in Puerto Vallarta who screwed it up== Dr. Aceves fixed hers!
