Cost of band to sleeve
I'm not sure of the cost, I think there's a surgical forum as well as a Mexican one. There are plenty of people who go to Mexico for the surgery. Do your research, there are some reputable ones out there. You can try using the search button also in the top right hand corner.

I had my initial surgery in Mexico and was extremely pleased with the care I got. Comparable to if not better than I would have got here in the US. If you are self pay don't dismiss Mexico without first researching that option. Think my surgeon charges around $5,000 for a revision. Had I got my surgery here I would have spent years paying for it.
I had a revision from band to sleeve in one surgery. Insurance approved the band removal but not the sleeve. I paid the surgeons fee for the sleeve 6400.00.....the hospital initially made me pay the room charge but reimbersed me guesss they figured they couldn't get paid twice since I only occupied one bed lol!! Had to take out a loan but well worth it for me....I've lost the 40 pounds I had gained back and plan on losing another 10-15 although I have been stuck for two months!
Lapband 6/08 90 pounds lost! Band slip and esophageal dilation diagnosed 5/15
