It's no good and coming out tomorrow, I am scheduled on April 17th for a sleeve. I'm excited and scared all over again.

Good luck I was thinking of getting the band for a hot second and then I remember coming here and reading how a lot of ppl revised to the sleeve

BEST thing i ever did was get the band removed & replaced by the sleeve! I had it done all in 1 surgery. Recovery went well overall. I'm almost 8 weeks out & have no regrets. I do struggle with getting enough fluids & sometimes Protein in, but it's all me & has nothing to do with the surgery itself.

Great decision, good luck!

Why did you get rid of the band???

That's because if you have a band you have other options if it doesn't work for you. If you have the sleeve or RNY your options are limited.

All the WLS have their benefits and detractors.

Well Congratulations on your news!! I had my revision in January and I am so happy!! No limitations with the sleeve I can eat onion, celery and carrots without any problems the best part is I can keep all the Protein in my body with out throwing up. My body at the end of my lapband journey my would without notice I would get violently sick!! Some people have had good response with the lapband and some haven't we all are like fingerprints each is different and our experiences are different too.

I am a firm believer in doing what is right for you to have a long and healthy life!!
