Question For Those That Went From Lap Band To Sleeve.....

I had surgery on February 2nd to get the lap band. I got an infection and had surgery on March 9th to have my port removed. Third surgery was on June 17th to get my port back. Today I have the same signs as the first infection, so I really think my lap band will have to be completely removed. I will be seeing the doctor today at 3:15 for him to see for himself. My question is if anyone has had to have multiple surgeries with the same complication that revised from lap band to sleeve. I'm scared that if I get the sleeve that I will continue to get infections. I know there is no plastics involved as with the band (the band itself has never been a problem, just the port) I'm trying to decide if I should just have the band removed and stay fat or if I should get the sleeve done and pray no problems arise. Any thoughts out there??

Thanks,

Bama
