Medical Tourism Resource Center will impact your life with revisional bariatric surgery for failed restrictive procedures!
A typical case for single-incision revision surgery will be a patient who has had Gastric Band (Lap-Band) removed from a previous operation. This person would, tentatively, be a candidate for single-incision gastric sleeve surgery. Learn more about your candidacy for single incision bariatric surgery by contacting our team today.
Note: Not all patients will be candidates for single-incision bariatric surgery. Typically, revision surgery doesn’t not allow for single incision due to the nature of scar tissue and reversing a failed surgery.

I had the gastric sleeve and need it redone. I’ve gained about 70 lbs . Want to have it done this summer.
I have also regained weight after having gastric sleeve procedure done. I want to return to Mexico for revision surgery.
I had gastric sleeve with Dr Louisiana Valenzuela August 2013, and went from 306 to 159 pounds. I’m 5’4. I have had 2 babies since and have gained back up to 276 pounds slowly over 7&1/2 years. I am looking to get either duodenal switch or gastric sleeve revision so I can achieve a BMI that will help me qualify for plastic surgery in the future.
