Hi everyone!

i have not been on here in a while and i need some help. i was a band to sleeve revision a liitle over a year ago and it has failed. i lost 20 pounds on the liquid diet when i came home but have gained that back and i am slowly gaining despite diet and exercise. so my question is....have you had a resleeve with dr garcia or dr kelly in Tijuana? i would like to hear from anyone who has had to have their sleeve redone and possibly anyone who was a band to sleeve revision that failed.

thank you,

shaundra

Sorry to hear that Shaundra. I can't imagine what you are going through. Do they know the reason why the revision failed?

I haven't heard of this! My bet would be on Dr Kelly. I feel he has a lot more expirience than Garcia.

I have his number since someone else just emailed me for it.

619-395-5347. I'm so sorry to hear this! Keep is in the loop! Good luck

i do not know the reason it failed, my assumption is that the doctor i went to does better with virgin sleeves than the band to sleeve. i know several other people (virgin sleevers) who went to him and have done fine, i read about another person on here in my same situation who went to the same doctor and had to have hers done again after her revision.

i have been in contact with dr kelly through email and i wanted him to do my last surgery but i saved a few bucks by going to the other guy. i dont want to make that mistake again, but they are both very close in price and people speak highly of both of them so im confused and hope to find someone who has had a resleeve with either of them.

Maybe if you asked the drs if they can provide patients that you can contact. My heart goes out to you

Who did your sleeve? I'm just now looking into having the band out and sleeve and didn't know that could happen. I'm going to Tijuana and was thinking Dr. Garcia but really don't want that to happen to me. Is that who you used? I'm sorry to hear that.

no I went to Dr Almanza. I am considering Dr Garcia for my revision.

I had never heard of a resleeve but the day after I was sleeved Dr Kelly had a patient he was resleeving. I don't know who did her initial sleeve.

When I had my surgery with Dr. Kelly he was revising someone from the gastric bypass with the band to a sleeve. She rode in the van with me. She said Dr. Kelly is the only one she trusted..

My sleeve surgery with Dr. Kelly was awesome. He is highly skilled at the sleeve..
