band to sleeve

Hi Guys

I have a question.

Do most people have the one surgery when removing the band and then getting the sleeve.

From the post I am not sure, as many say they get the band removed by ione Dr and then the sleeve done by another.

I will be having the band to sleeve done all in one.

But I just wanted to know what others have done.

My surgeon prefers to do it all at once.

I had mine all done in one procedure. No point in having to go back for a second surgery when you can get it all done in one shot.

I had mine done at the same time too. I think people have to have it done separately if their stomach is damaged from the band and needs to heal before the sleeve can be done.
