Looking for others experience w band revision to a sleeve or better off mini GBP? I have the band and scheduled for sleeve. However I have read about Sleeve revisions to the mini gastric bypass. Don't want to be a double fall! the mini GBP scare me w the malabsorption issue though.

I had a sleeve and it did nothing for me. I was hungry all the time and never lost a pound! I had a MGB with Dr. Illian i in Jan and I highly recommend him. BariactricPal is very good with the how you are treated and aftercare contacts. Some people do well wtih a sleeve however you will not lose as fast and may not reach your goal from the statistics I've read. Everyone is different.

That's what I am worried about! The lapband failed me, I do t want to be a two timing failure? What was ur recover including hospital stay? How are w the malabsorption?

I had a lap band too and it was horrible! I kept throwing up the food since it got stuck and I still didn't lose wieght. I got polyps in my esophagus and had to have them cut out.

With the MGB I'm now losing! Yea! No complications and I felt no pain. Again it may be different for you. For me I wished that's what I did in the beginning.

I revised to the sleeve and the restriction is insane

It's hard to live this way! ! Strongly recommend you have have it removed and live normally
