  1. Mgb is the mini gastric bypass. It is a little more than a resleeve. Dr Barrera is on the internet and his company is called Monterrey gastric and bariatric group. He's very good, speaks enough English to be understood and operates in a hospital in Monterrey that is owned by an American company. Huge hospital (Christus). The surgery as it was explained to me gives the sleeve bypass abilities with just a single loop bypass. It's done all over the world except here because insurance won't cover it. But it was created by an American surgeon. Go figure. Good luck with your decision.

    Was the cost higher than the resleeve? How do I get the information about your doctor?

    Hello! What is the mgb?
  5. Hello. I went a little different route and had the mgb done with a dr in Monterrey Mexico. Francisco Barrera. He was amazing. I've been post op for 9 days now and so far recovery has been easy with no problems. Im hopeful that this time around will be different as far as results. I chose this options at the advice of the surgeon and previous history. I hope it works this time.

    When is your surgery scheduled? I will be resleeved on Monday, December 12, 2016. It is right around the corner. I'll be sure to let you know about my experience.
  9. Hi. Thanks for responding and not making me feel like the Lone Ranger. I am starting to rethink my choice of drs but not my procedure. I'm trying to find an equally experienced dr either on this side of the border or at least closer to home. Im very interested in learning more about dr A. What was ur experience the first time? It's just so tuff to chose. Please keep in touch and keep me up to date on your journey.
  10. I am in the same boat. Dr. A sleeved me almost 10 years ago. I have stretched out my sleeve the past year and lbs oiled on. I originally lost over 100. My date is 2-6-17. I am counting the days til I can feel successful again. I cleaned my cupboards. Threw out the carbs. Getting back to the basics.
  11. Thanks so much for responding. I just decided to have the reaper e. Like u I was originally sleeved awhile back. But I know it has stretched and I think I just need a reset. I have not heard of too many people being realeeved and it seems like a lot of folks on the site are very judgemental about this subject. Even my surgeon acted as if I was just lazy and actually told me that maybe I'm just destined to be fat all of my life. I'm choosing Mexico because my insurance will only pay for the surgery once in a lifetime.... can't afford it here and I hear that dr A has lots of experience doing the resleeve. I'm hoping to keep in contact with u and follow ur progress. I haven't scheduled yet. Waiting on my boss to give me some dates. I'm thinking January tho. I just want to get it done and stop hating myself for failing. Thanks again for chatting with me. My name is Trish and I live in central Texas. Very nice meeting u.

    Thanks for reaching out to me. I had a friend that had her sleeve procedure by Dr. Almanza. She has had an amazing experience and wonderful results. She let me know that she had the procedure in Mexico. I had my original sleeve several years ago. I decided to have the resleeve because I do not have the restriction I initially had in the beginning. Dr. Almanza was chosen because of the results I saw in my friend. She will be traveling with me to Mexico for my resleeve on December 12, 2016. I have made contact with a few people on this site that had the resleeve by Dr. Almanza, who was pleased. That's all I really know about him. I am sure we will be fine. When is your procedure scheduled?
