My surgeon said everything went really well and that I had minimal scarring so it looks like I can get sleeved in 3 months, which is the minimum wait time for his office. I am anxious to start this new adventure. I am a bit sore at my incision sites, especially where they removed my port, but I am really not enjoying the pain from the gas trying to escape my body. My shoulders are KILLING me. It is all worth it though, right.

That's great you have a successful removal was their a reason why he couldn't do it all in one setting

My surgeon's office will not do removal and the revision in the same surgery. He has a minimum wait time of 3 months up to 6 months. He prefers that stomach have time to return to a normal shape and that way he gets a cleaner surgical line minimizing the possibility of leaks. It isn't fun to have two surgeries, but I am kind of glad to have a moment to breathe before being sleeved. I have some serious food issues that I need to work out due to several food intolerances with the band.

yes yes yes. that band is horrible. you will see a huge difference in the sleeve once ya heal
