Band to sleeve in Mexico

crusso · July 30, 2015

I was banded in June 2011 (NWWLS Dr. Michaelson in Everett, WA). I never was able to lose more than 20lbs. About a year ago I had finally gotten fed up with the acid reflux, stuck food, and vomiting so I had it almost all unfilled. I've gained about 30 lbs back and am above my prebanded weight now.

Recently I've become very interested in getting a revision done but my insurance doesn't cover it so I've been researching Mexico Does anyone have recommendations on a surgeon? I'm also interested in the pre-op process for having it done there. What do I need to have done in the states prior to arriving in Mexico? Any advice or personal stories is appreciated.

I am in the same boat as it relates to band and weight. I am going to use Dr.Carlos Altamirano in Mexico through BariatricPal eventually. I am having to save up. My insurance does not cover Bariatrics either.
