hello, i am transitioning from band to sleeve and was wondering if anyone out there experienced this transitioning. i am nervous about the pain compared to the band and the recovery period.
thanks
Be careful with that, one month I got off 10 lbs and my Doc told me the insurance company may look at it as you can do it on your own. I would wait to drop the most after the final visit. My 6 months was a perfect example of what I alway do, lose then gain.
I had to go back because I was having really bad reflux and needed an EGD. That got the ball rolling and I told them I would like to have the band removed and get the sleeve. We were able to start the process.
Hello!! I'm new to this site. In 2008 ,I had the lap band, lost some weight and have gained it back. I am having a revision to the sleeve and was wondering what is the downtime. I work in a clinic , where I walk a lot and have to pick up things up to 30 lbs. I was thinking of two weeks off should be more than enough. Thoughts please, thanks in advance!!
