I was wondering how much weight band to sleeve revisions patients have lost. I currently have the band. It has slipped, waiting on surgery date for removal. I will be getting sleeved probably around April after all requirements have been met. I have heard many people don't lose as fast when they revise from band. Can anyone tell me how their weight loss and experience has been? Thank you

I'm 5 weeks out from band to sleeve revision and have lost 43 pounds.

Woooow!!!!!

Good for u!!

How did u do that????

<p>I'm not quite 7 months out and am down 92 lb.s It's a myth that revision folks don't lose much or don't lose quickly. Best of luck to you,</p> <p> </p> <p>Kim</p>

Amazing!!!

Good for u!!

Hello...I'll be getting my band removed and having the sleeve done in Feb. I've met my goal and

really don't want to loose anymore weight. Any advice?? Thank you.

Have you talked to your surgeon? What was his advice? If you have the sleeve done, YOU WILL lose more weight. It sounds like you've been successful with the band, curious as to why you're revising?

I'm with you! Hopefully responses come soon.

Tha lapband was never meant to be a long term tool. Once you meet your goal it's supposed to be removed. Unfortunately.. Few drs tell patients that.

My comment wasn't meant to be condescending- we are all "Anti-Band" here for the most part. Regardless of your reasons, your surgeon should offer solid advice. Good luck.
