Hi,
I had the single incision gastric sleeve done in June 2016 by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I never got close to goal weight, and have re-gained about 75% back. I am constantly hungry and can eat large portions. I contacted Nina at Mexicali Bariatric Center and she said this is common with single incision sleeves and they have fixed patients from Dr. Garcia with success. She said they do not do single incision sleeves due to this issue. My question is should I use Dr Esquerra or Dr Wilhelmy for this? I know Dr. Esquerra is vetted for DS, which she said could be an option based on my barium swallow test, but if I do get the re-sleeve would Dr. Wilhelmy be better for that? Nina said she thinks I will be successful with the re-sleeve since I am active, but I am just so worrried I will still have this hunger that was not as bad as before I had the initial sleeve done...
Thanks for any help or advise,
Tiffany
