I'm going to make this the "Reader's Digest Version". I had my lap band removed 8/1. I was planning on having a revision to the sleeve the same day but due to scar tissue it didn't happen. In the mean time I read a lot and thought a lot and decided I'd rather have the bypass. I was scheduled for 9/22 and today received a call and asked if I would be able to schedule for 9/6 instead. I of course said yes. I am wondering if anyone has had their band removed and their revision done a month later? If so, how was recovery? I know typically it's done 90 days later so that's why I'm asking.

Really? I have a good friend that just had her band revised to a sleeve in one surgery by Dr Russo. He advised me that he would do it in one surgery unless there is too much scar tissue. I had my band placed by Dr. Quebbeman with The NEW program, but honestly I really liked Dr. Braverman with that practice. Don't know if you've looked into them.

In Orange County, Smart Dimensions. I am in the process of having Dr. Russo do a revision from band to sleeve. Just waiting on insurance approval. They are at Orange Coast Memorial in Fountain Valley and will perform the surgery at Orange Coast or Fountain Valley Hospital.
