Band-to-Sleeve Conversion in Tijuana
(Near San Diego)
When the lap-band no longer works, converting to a gastric sleeve (VSG) can provide steadier, fill-free restriction and better long-term comfort. Our Tijuana team—minutes from San Diego—performs safe band removal plus sleeve in one stage when appropriate, managing scar tissue carefully and minimizing downtime.
Why convert to sleeve
- No ports, tubing, or adjustments.
- Lower reflux risk than with a band (patient-dependent).
- Familiar post-op diet progression and strong community support.
How it works
- Pre-op review of band history, imaging, and labs.
- Single-stage band removal + sleeve when criteria are met; otherwise staged approach for safety.
- Enhanced recovery protocol and bilingual follow-up.
