  1. I had the Band to Sleeve done in the same surgery. I found there was some more pain than normal and developed a fluid pocket that drained from my lowest incision for 6 weeks. My surgeon told me that my port was deep in the muscle and had to be dug out which caused alot of damage. everything seems to be ok now. im a liitle over 6 weeks post op.

    Who Are You?

    Hello, My Name Is Ron. I am a 39 year old married father of two beautiful twin girls which are my life. I have been struggling my entire life with my weight. When i was 34 i had the band surgery, it was the Realize band. I didnt join any support groups and only went by the advice of a couple of friends with the band and that was my down fall. I did lose weight with the band but these friends actually taught me how to cheat the band and i still was eating terribly. After 5 years and approching the weight i was when i got the band i decided to sit down with my surgeon and have revision surgery to the Gastric Sleeve. It wasnt an easy procedure because having the band removed and the sleeve done in the same surgery was alot to handle. Im 6 weeks post op and doing well except for the hunger spells i sometimes get. Im down 46 pounds. May G-d help me on this journey, I want to see my kids grow up and them see me grow old.
