Chong, this is an emergency. Try to learn bridge grafting. It is like bark grafting but you do it on both ends to "bridge" the girdled portion. I can send you loads of calamondin sticks via Fedex if you want, and you can use these calamondin sticks for your bridge graft.
I just helped my professor topwork his giant pummelo tree and I have plenty of Calamondin branches that I have sacrificed. I will get some more and send it over should you want to try. Bridge grafting is the only option right now.
