Band to Sleeve Revision Leaks?

I just had my band out a month ago and going for sleeve surgery on October 8th. My doctor said my stomach needs two months to heal before he could do the revision to the sleeve surgery. I've been nervous lately about leaks, has anyone had a revision to the sleeve and then had a leak?Tyia

In 2011 when I revised I was told band to sleeve revision risk of leaks was about double that a virgin sleever. So instead of 1-2% risk more like 4%. It's scary business but I am so glad I did it. I don't recall hearing a leak story from a band to sleeve revision on these forums.

Lapband people might also need to unlearn some bad habits, like eating sliders, to maximize weight loss.
