I can't afford to go to Mexico for the Lapband revision which is taking out the Lapband and putting in a sleeve

My last upper X Indicated no slippage just an expanded pouch

I have gained and can't loose for over a year now the 25 pounds

What else can I do?

Can the pouch be reset ?

Can I get a fill ?

Is there an affordable doctor in south Florida that will do the revision by putting in a sleeve?

I really need help

I am struggling with this

Sounds more like you are too tight since you have a expanded pouch. Guessing you'll need an unfill to let your band rest and let your stomach return to normal. Just my guess, and I could be wrong.

Use the "Surgeons" tab above to look for surgeons in your area.

Call their offices to ask about making an appointment to discuss your band and, if can still work for you, how to get the most from it.

People here at Bariatric Pal can do their best to help you if you put your messages in one place. You can choose the appropriate place by reading through subject headings in the "Forums" tab above.

By the way, weight-loss surgery isn't like sewing a coat. Sleeves are not "put in." Gastric sleeve surgery is a matter of taking out.

I don't know! I wish you luck however. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this board---hopefully someone will have an answer for you!

Consult a bariatric surgeon about your non-surgical options.

just want to chime in and correct you just a little if I may. With a sleeve nothing is put in, in fact most of your stomach is removed. not trying to be nit picky I just wanted to make sure you understand the difference
