Hello Everyone!

I am new to the forum and currently have a lap band. I am looking to have a revision to sleeve and am leaning toward dr. Ponce de leon as I havw read great things about him. Can you guys recommend any other doctors that have success at doing the surgery all at once? I would prefer to not have to wake up and find I don't have a sleeve. Before I get blasted :-) I am aware there could be complications that the doctor decides it isn't worth the risk. However, I want to pick a doctor that has experience in doing it all at once. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I had my band to sleeve revision all at one time with Dr. Ariel Ortiz st Obesity Control Center.

I had Dr Fernando Garcia. He has performed thousands of surgeries and did an excellent job with my revision. No complications, no pain no issues what so ever. Excellent Doctor.

Any information on Dr. Ponce De Leon when it comes to revisions?

I am having the revision with Lopez. I too am hoping to wake up with the sleeve. I've had the band for almost 9 years. No major problems other than foods getting stuck ugh.

Is that Dr. alejandro lopez? If it is, I am also thinking very seriously about having a revision from band to sleeve with him, he seems like a very capable and experienced surgeon. When are you going? I would be really happy to receive any feed back from you. Good luck!

I will be having surgery on April 12. I've heard great stuff about him and he has done over 1000 revisions.
