Hi I've been considering having a revision since I haven't lost much weight and a doctor told me me sleeve was big. Has anybody been resleeved in Mexico ? Who did you use ? And how much was the revision ?

How long ago were you sleeved? How does one get a too big sleeve?

I have been sleeved in mexico and I know that if I wasn't loosing I could go back and they would tighten me up for free I would just have to pay hotel and airfare. The office has already done this for the plicators.

Wow I hadn't even thought of that. Thats considerable! I mostly thought down the line if I had to I could revise to RnY or DS... however just to have my sleeve re-done would be ideal!

Good luck in your research, I'm not sure who does do this.

Dr. Ponce De Leon has been a surgeon for over 20 years in Tijuana Mexico. He does the re-sleeve surgery along with sleeve, bypass and other bariatric and other types of surgeries. He is a teacher also and has thought the sleeve to many Mexican surgeons as well as other surgeries. His coordinator is Trish you can contact her at 661-886-4617 her website is http://www.wls4bette....com/index.html

Do you know what size is your stomach now? how long ago was your surgery?

Wow, I have not heard of a re-sleeve surgery. Why do they do that? Does the stomach stretch out so much that you would need it done again? I sure don't want to go through this again. Guess I better be really careful not to stretch out my sleeve?

It takes a long time for the stomach to be streched, but its definetly possible. Its actually more likely that the first time they did the surgery they used a very big buggie for the sleeve.
