Band to Sleeve.... Difference in experiences

Hi everybody!

I am due to have the sleeve in 2 weeks, i had the band for 6 years, removed 1 year ago.. gained most back.

I am curious to hear from people who have had band to sleeve revision.

If you were to compare... what would you say are the differences... in relation to eating, hair loss, skin etc.

Reason i ask... i was successful with the band... minimal hair loss and no loose skin, im curious to know if ill have the same result this time around.

I hope that made sense. .. sorry my brain is fried today... 1st day of optihell lol

    Excess skin is determine upon how big you are as well as genetic factors and has no bearing on what surgery you have.

Yes but gaining and then losing the weight repeatedly is not going to do skin any favors. Nonetheless better to get the sleeve and be religious with skin care and start serious weight/strength training after 12 weeks. And walk everyday!
