    Hi folks, I thought I would add this to the list. A lot of the Americans & Canadians in Mexico tell me a lot of people use this man.
    Apparently he has good prices and does quality work so I thought I would put his contact info here. Lorna

    DR. Marchesini not only does the sleeve but he is also a specialist at the duodenal switch surgery so if any sleever ever had to convert to the switch he would be the doctor you would want to use.
    Since the sleeve is half of the duodenal switch the conversion surgery would not be expensive.
    The duodenal switch would be for a minority of patients who had no luck with the sleeve. Hope this helps. Lorna

    Default Gastric Sleeve in Brazil

    I am a bariatric nurse practitioner. I think that you would do fine with a lap band. The main thing about a lap band is exercise and a healthy diet. So many of my patients become discouraged when the weight does not come off but they are not exercising. If you are able to commit to at least 5 days per week of resistance training and cardio you should o just fine. Weight loss with a lap band ranges from 4-8lbs per week. Gastric bypass is a lot quicker but you do thave the malabsorption issues to deal with as well. Gastric Sleeve is great but the chance of a leak is increased and the weight loss is about 50lbs per yr.
    If you wanted to talk more, please dont hesitate to contact me.
