 Hello all, I'm just starting to research this, have phoned a couple doctors in mexico, but they want to charge me 8 grand and i only have 6....

i have a sleeve that is too big, done 6 months ago, i only lost about 20 lbs after surgery, and now i'm regaining, and i'm scared and want to get a revision done before my money is gone, which will be soon

my surgeon even said that i would probably need a revision to a bypass, but i don't want a bypass, i don't want to dump for the rest of my life...

can anyone direct me to the right place to get a revision at a good price?

i'm in canada and there's no coverage for a DS...

thanks for any help you can give me....

cheers

Look on the DS surgery website and find a surgeon who is listed on there that can work with you.  Any surgeon who does the DS can revise the sleeve to the DS.

The DS is very expensive but I can't tell you if that is good price or not.  I know it is awfully close to what I was offered for revision from band to DS, but my surgeon advised that the sleeve was a better choice for me.
