Hi banders that have been revised to sleeve. Did you lose weight faster with the sleeve than initially with the band?

    I just came home today from the hospital. I had a revision from lap band to gastric sleeve. Thanks so much for the encouraging words!

    Wow! That is so exciting. What was it about the band that didn't work for you and why does Dr. Forgione think the sleeve will be better? The surgeon my insurance requires I go to doesn't believe the sleeve is a valid replacement for the band. "Failed at the band, you'e fail with the sleeve." That's what he says. I'm going to have to educate him about the sleeve. Thank you and I hope you feel good......
