Gastric sleeve to DS

I had a gastric sleeve in 2011 in tijuana Mexico, I only loss about 65 pounds. I now have insurance that covers wls, is there a doctor in Tennessee who accepts patients who previously had wls in mexico. This process is so draining.

you. Need to call around and ask. You can also call the number on your insurance card for referrals.

I live in Tennessee. I had my sleeve done at Baptist Metabolic Center by Dr. Lynch. I have an appointment with him next week but I am told he does not do revisions. No one in the office does. I have been researching Dr. Christopher Sanborn in Chattanooga. I just asked them to fax my records to him so Dr. Sanborn can review my records and see if he will do it.

What sort of revision are you wanting? I suggest you contact Dr. Boyce in Knoxville. He does do revisions, and he does the DS---the most logical revision for a failed Sleeve.

Try Dr. Boyce in Knoxville. He is a revision specialist, does do the DS, and I'm pretty sure he'll be okay with your previous surgery having been done in Mexico.
