Omg that sounds revolting. Lol. Good luck with recovery, hope you are feeling ok.

I was thinking the same. Thanks for your input.

Thank you so much for the info. I'm getting more sure of my decision everyday. All the best.

I wasn't until I heard that it was even a possibility. I wouldn't even know if my sleeve is too big. I can eat half the amount of a normal meal. I feel like it is fine. From what I've been reading a re sleeve isn't a good idea with the complication rate. I will need to get some tests done to...

I have heard that revisions are slower so I'm prepared for that. Thank you for sharing your experience. Like many, I'm concerned about keeping the weight off long term, something I could not do with the VSG.

So the size of the fundus is key here. Ok thank you for the info!

Do you know how they find out the size of a stomach? Barium swallow?

Hello, Has anyone here had a "re-sleeve" with their VSG to DS revision? If so can you tell me what those determining factors were? Thanks!

Ok thank you for clarifying. I thought maybe I misunderstood the reasons why people were having VSG to DS revisions to begin with. Back to my research!

Hello, Just continuing to do research here and I've read a few times that it is the Sleeve portion of the surgery that allows for weight loss and the Switch portion that helps with co morbidities and keeping the weight off. Does that mean someone like me who still has 100lbs to lose and no co...

Thank you for the info. I have just moved cities so will be making a careful choice of my new doctor.

I love hearing about these success stories. Makes me feel I am moving in the right direction. At the end of the video (which was great btw) she mentions she will be back next year. Does that mean there is yearly follow up in Mexico after DS surgery?

Gotcha. That's a very reasonable price. Have you also had a DS with Mexicali?

I see what you are saying. But of course I need to lose about 100 lbs. I wonder if the malabsorption is enough to hopefully achieve that goal?

Thank you for your response. Do you mean that you showed up to the hospital prepared to pay $14,500 but were then only charged $8500? That would be amazing! Also, you elected not to get re-sleeved? Can you explain how you (and your doctor?) decided that? Is there a certain size that has...

Hello Larra, Thank you for directing me here. So much great info! I am in Canada but money as always is a factor. I will see what they say about price and go from there.

Great to know thank you! I didn't think there were any docs doing the surgery privately.

Hello, I'm new here and very happy to have been directed to this forum of wealth and knowledge! So much fantastic information. I am from Canada and wanting a revision from VSG to DS. Chances are I will not be approved for a revision to DS because well, it's almost impossible to get one here...
