I would love to hear stories from those who have been converted from a lap band to a sleeve. My revision was approved and I will most likely have mine done all in one procedure at the end of April. Was your revision done in one or two procedures? What is it like compared to the lap band? Thanks!!!

Go on the band to sleeve revision thread for additional answers. I asked this same question on there and while it seems most had theirs done at the same time, some were told they had to wait X number of weeks/months to get the revision. It depends on the surgeon and what condition(s) the band may have caused, if any. Good luck with your journey.

I had a revision from lapband to sleeve. The pain was less for me believe it or not on this one. The only difference really is they are cutting scar tissue from the band that it left. And maybe adjusting stuff where band was. I had my surgery in mexico and I was walking 30mins after I came out of recovery. Exspect gas pain. Sucks
