sorry I just realized you said in one step. I've talked to my Dr about revision unfortunately he told me it would be a 2 step procedure

Hi , I am getting revised from band to sleeve by my original doctor Dr. Douglas Ewing in Paramus NJ. Its called

Advanced Lap-Associates 201-646-1121. He is going to do mine in one step but everyone is different it depends on what condition your band is in. He will base what he is going to do with the outcome of your UPPER GI AND Barium Swallow test you would have to do...I did all was clear and i can get it done in one step. Call him. Tell him i sent you.

Dr. Sadek in Somerset

HI,

Im getting mine done in one step by Dr. Ewing Douglas of ADVANCED LAP-ASSOCIATES in Paramus, NJ. Hospital Is Hackensack NJ in Hackensack NJ..201-646-1121 call him to get your consult tell him i sent you.

Doing it in one step has to be determined by an UPPER GI and Barium Swallow Screening that he will refer you to. If all is good he will do it in one step if something is wrong (damaged stomach, stomach wrapped around band) he will have to remove band let heal for 6-8 weeks (depending on damage) and then do the sleeve. Good Luck.

Have you been to a doctor yet for a consult?

Did you end up finding someone? I'm in NJ also and interested

Hi I used Dr. Donaire/Dr. Sadek at bariatric associates of Nj. They are amazing! Came out if surgery pain free and they kept me pain free.
