I am looking into Mexico as an option for a revision from band to sleeve. Who did you use? Why did you choose them? Who would you not use, why? How was your experience? How much did you pay? Did they fix any hernia? Lots of questions yes. I have been scouring the boards for all any information. Thank you for any responses and any information on your experience.

Hi there! I had my band done in February 2006. Lost 110 pounds and did great for over three years and let bad habits creep back in. I started having a lot of reflux the last year or two and felt I needed to have the band removed. I had my band done in Monterrey Mexico and I had the revision done through the same company Ready4Achange this time in Tijuana in October 2014 with Dr. Garcia. I flew into San Diego and they picked me up at the airport and we drove across the border. I stayed at the Marriot the first night, had surgery the next day and stayed two nights then went back to the Marriot for two days and flew home. It all went very well, great service and really nice people to deal with. Felt safe and well taken care of. The price for a revision to a sleeve was $5200. My insurance doesn't cover weight loss surgery so this was a good option for me. Did well at the hospital and at home not much pain at all. I have lost about 30 pounds even over the holidays and am looking forward to exercising and getting this weight off for good. Good luck on your journey!
