I am 45 year old male 5'10 /260 pounds with a failed band. Very apprehensive about revision surgery. I have cancelled my date twice and was ready to go June 7 but my doctor has to cancel and reschedule for June 23. Beginning to second guess this decision. I know several people that have had great success. Any advice is welcome!

In my support group several memebers have switched and love it. For the most part bands are not done anymore.

Yeah, I've never met anyone who had the revision done and didn't love it. Not a lot of regrets.

I never had the revision. The sleeve is my first go at wls, but it has 100% changed my life. You can read about my journey - the challenges and the successes in my blog (linked in siggy) - but I would go for it! It is an amazing tool, and as long as you are willing to put in the time an effort to do the emotional work as well you will be a great success with the sleeve. Good luck to you!!!
