I am looking very seriously about getting re sleeved, and I need recommendations on who to go to in Tijuana or somewhere else in Mexico. Thanks very much :)

I'm looking into this as well, so far I've narrowed it down to Dr. Corvala or Dr. Ariel Ortiz both are very well reviewed with very impressive credentials and history.  They both cost a little more but I think it's worth it . My only issue is to revise the sleeve, Dr. Oritz does a plication to "tighten" it, I'm not sure I want this.  I find its very hard to find many resleevers out there to share their experiences unfortunately, what about you?  Have you talked to anyone who has had it done?

No I haven't been able to find any info as well, regarding resleevers. Maybe because the sleeve is rather new? I do NOT want plication. I want my sleeve re done. I do not want to revise to a mini gastric bypass either, as was suggested by another doc in Mexico. So what to do!!!

I feel the same way ! Dr. Ortiz want to do plication, Dr. Rodriguez wants to so mini bypass and while I'm impressed by their reviews I don't want either.  Dr corvela will re do the sleeve though, I was just hoping for more information and more options.

As I continue to research this I've been very impressed with Dr. Wilhelmy and the information they have sent me on revisions, just wanted to pass that along.  Dr. Ramos Kelly and Dr. Corvala are also still at the top of my list.

Thanks for your info! What are the prices you are finding?

Unfortunately higher than I would like, but significantly less than the 2 Iv already paid for ! Lol Corvala is $8500 Wilhelmy is usually $8750 but if you send $500 and schedule a date before the end of March you can lock in $7950. Ramos Kelly is much cheaper if you go the the new clinic at $5500 and I haven't gotten a price from Rodriguez yet but as I said before Wilhelmy is my front runner, it seems they have done a lot of revisions with great success.

Have you checked into Baja Bariatrics, with Dr. Illan?? I've been seeing wonderful feedback in his Facebook group.
