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.

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?

HI Looking for AZ bandsters for support and/or questions. I am on day 3 post-up. I have all the expected/norms of post-op. Noticed am really tired and take multiple cat naps. My shakes are going down good. Not feeling hungrey. I knw I need to drink more water.
