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.

I'm in Miami. Call Dr Nestor Muñoz de la Cruz. I dont know how much he charges but he is the best in UM Hospital.

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.

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
