I went to another surgeon today for a second opinion. It's like night and day from my previous surgeon. I am having my lapband and plication removed and getting sleeved on March 7th. I am only required to go to the education class next week and do the preop diet for one week. The surgeon stated that he also thinks my body is rejecting the lapband. He also said I will be much happier with the sleeve. I am so glad I don't have to go through two surgeries just to get a revision to sleeve.

I to am going from band to sleeve march 19th that date seem so far away im ready to b done and over with and i hope and pray that i may b one of the success stories i have been reading about

I hope I'm one of the successful ones too. Why are you revising? Are you nervous? I am. I was thinking about it so much today that I made my self nauseated. It is not even the actual surgery that makes me nervous. It's the thought of the damn IV's. they always have such a hard time getting them in that my arm gets bruised.

i have had fair success with my band but also alot of complications so i decided for health reason this was the next step
