Emailed the surgeon today to let him know that I do want to proceed with the band to sleeve revision :crying:

Now, time to wait and second guess myself:huh0:

Thanks for all of your help and time answering questions. I really do appreciate it!

Best of luck to you.

Great news! Try not to second guess yourself too much, because it's just a waste of time. Having my band removed was the best thing I've ever done. The sleeve is SO much easier to live with - I know you'll be very happy with your decision. Plus, if you're like me, you'll be at your goal weight in no time. After a 3-yr stall, I'm thrilled with the success I've had with the sleeve.

Now there is a perk - I had given up on getting to a normal BMI with my band and was struggling just to get down to the over weight category.:biggrin0:
