Is there anyone out there that had the iband done with dr Adam smith in ft worth and had it revised to sleeve?? Currently in the process of trying to get my iband removed and converted to sleeve. Only problem is with the gastric plication done under the band hardly any drs will even talk to me!! I guess this plication in the long run can be harmful. Just wanna know if anyone has had this done thanks!

I'm trying to understand your question. I am going from band to gastric sleeve. I guess I'm a little slow but do you mean you have both the band and then had the plication done subsequently? Won't the same doctor be willing to do the gastic sleeve?

No it's eat more complicated than band to sleeve. The iband is the band and plication done on your stomach under the band. It was a clinical trial being conducted my some drs with true results.

Way more difficult not eat more difficult lol

oohhh ok. sorry. I hope you find a doctor that will help you!!

I have never even heard of doing both. I had heard of plication, but my preference was just to do the sleeve and cut out the part of my stomach. I honestly questioned how all foods would digest with it folded in on itself.

Well the Iband sucks I don't recommend it to anyone!! I get mine removed tues

Did they remove the band an leave the plication part? I guess I do not understand it very well either.
