revision in mexico

Has anyone had a revision surgery in Mexico?  If so what was your experience.  I'm considering taking this route?  I would appreciate any advice.

Hi Darnell,  What type of surgery are you revising from and to.  I hd a revision from VBG to lap band in July.  The surgery was pretty easy though it did take a long time because of scar tissue and adhesions.  The cost varies but I paid $11000.00 because I also had gall bladder removed.  The surgeon was excellent and I had the surgery on Monday, came home on Wednesday and was feeling great by Friday.

Hi Cassandra, I had the mini gastri bypass 6 years ago and I am not sure what I want conversion too.  However, I need a conversion to something that will give good long term results.  Is there any specific reason you chose the lap band?

I first thought tobe revised to RNY but the doctor recommened the lap band.  Many folks with RNY  begin to gain weight after a few years and I do not want to have another surgery.  The lap band requires following the rules and changing eating habits but not eating properly is why I got fat.  Now I can only eat small portions and nothing will stretch out a few years from now. Best of luck whatever you decide, Cassandra
