Hi I had lap band to bypass revision in one surgery on 12/9 the recovery is just about the same as the lap band you just have to deal with a draining bulb.

Super easy for me.. I had it done in the morning as outpatient. Surgery was a little over 1 hour. She removed my band and put in the sleeve. The first four hours I had nausea and pain. They gave me meds to help. After a few walks, I was released at 4 pm. Slept most of the second day. Third day I was able to meet both Water and Protein goals. Felt pretty much normal except a bit sore in the midsection. Never had problems with getting sick, an Iron stomach. I do feel restriction, usually 3-5 oz/meal. I had an excellent surgeon though, so I consider myself very lucky.

Thank you both for your replies. I have my revision surgery Dec. 20. I'm getting a little nervous.

Was easy for me. Had my done on 10/27. Had a little issue at 5 weeks, bent over wrong and pulled my inside stitches, out of work for 2 more weeks. But other than that everything was great. Easy recovery. I have lost total of 31 lbs since surgery. 41 with post op weight loss. Was a size 16 almost 18 pre-surgery now 12's are getting big. So happy had the surgery. At a stall right now, been same weight for 2 weeks, but working on it and I am sure it will come off. Best decision I ever made.
