Well I have just found out that I have been approved for a revision! I have had the Lap band for 2yrs now with little to no results, but I have managed to have bad acid reflux and a lot of getting stuck days! So, my question today is has anyone out there had to have the revision and how has it worked for you? I must a admit I'm afraid to do this again and not have any results and be stuck like this!

Congrats!

Oh yes, there are a decent number of us band-to-sleevers - there's section just for us too:

I did have success initially with the band, but then it all went to hell after a slip. We can succeed with the sleeve, but unfortunately the success rates are lower. I've been (and still am) very scared of failing again too. I'm trying to be as vigilant as I can about avoiding sweets and fatty foods and establishing healthy habits to help ensure my ongoing success. This has been an effort, but really not that hard. The sleeve makes it all so much easier, but you do have to stay vigilant. You also need to work at unlearning the behaviors that you needed with a tight band - like avoiding veggies and dense meats. With the sleeve you won't have the same problems, and these are the foods that will help you feel full and stay on track.

I wish you the best!

Lots of posts in the revision forum. I had the band for 10 years, didn't do well with it - ever. I have been sleeved since Dec 2011 and have been maintaining a large loss since Feb 2013.

Good luck!
