I had my band for 6 and 1/2 years on July 10 I had the band removed scar tissue removed. A large hiatal hernia repaired and a sleeve. I am 4.5 weeks out and no more nausea and not too hungry. I am so happy to have the band out and very lucky the surgeon was able to do all at one proceedure

I had my band removed after 6 years and revised to a sleeve on July 10th. I can finally eat regular food only very small amounts. With the band I ate a lot of Ice cream and crunchy things,The only foods that I could tolerate. I waited a long time because I didn't think I would be covered for a revision. I am so happy that I finally had the surgery. 5 of my friends had the lap band about the same time as me. 3 had it removed and one was converted to gastric bypass.

I am 4 weeks out from lapband to sleeve revision I am starting to try different regular foods. I get full after only 2-3 bites . I get nauseus often. It's hard to get used to eating real food after almost 5 years with the lap band.and a diet of crackers and ice cream. Even though I can only eat very small amounts. It feels great to be able to eat real food
