I currently have a failed band in and am converting to the sleeve soon. Hopefully. I've lost 55 pounds with the band. Now I'm holding steady at 185. My surgeon is ok with doing the sleeve. Anyone been sleeved at a low weight?

I was 176 on my surgery day of Apri 11. I started at 227 in Sept 2011.

This year? Was your surgery a revision?

Yes just a little over 2 weeks ago. No not a revision.

How tall are you? I also got sleeved at a lower weight, but I was 208 lbs (5'5").

I'm 5'4". At my current weight my BMI is 31.8. Did insurance cover yours?

At the start of my pre-op diet, I weighed 190lbs at 5'2". I was sleeved 3/7.

There is a member here by the name of "Jax" (you can search for her) who was sleeved at about 160ish and she was a band-to-sleeve revision. She hasn't been on here in a long time but you could try PMing her since I think most people have an email associated with their account...it might spit it to her email and she could respond.

Good luck!

Thank you!

I am having the sleeve and weigh 199 but I have high blood pressure, diabetes and a veterbral disc degeneration. Mine isn't a revision. I am a big girl because I'm a only 5'1" ...
