To make it worse this will be my THIRD band not second!!!!

So I met with my surgeon and we will submit paper work tomorrow hopefully for approval of revision from band to sleeve!! And he said he would only do it in one surgery!!!!

I think I'm leaning more towards gastric sleeving I have a BMi of 35 with high blood pressure si I'm sure I still qualify. It just depends on what my doctor thinks I guess. Of which I will meet with him tomorrow

i was 25 at my first surgery. i had lapband in 2008. it slipped by november 2010, was removed and replaced in january 2011. and here I am again with another slipped band. So along with the support of my dr i wil submit approval for a revision to the sleeve. i was 230 when i started. got down to about 140 and back up to 190......good luck, and i def dont think this is the place t be emarrased, the fact is you are doing something about it now!!!!

Hope your revision is approved. I would revise in your situation as well. I was just repositioned due to a hiatal hernia. If I had the option of a sleeve covered by insurance... I probably would have switched. I am just happy to have the band still in place for now... so far so good with the last surgery.
Keep us updated! Wish you success!
