  1. Hello. I had been banded in 2009 lost 115 lbs in our months and was happy as could be for a little over a year. Due to throwing up from a gallbladder my band slipped and was taken out. I regained about 30 land and was rebranded 3 months after removal on 2010. I held steady at 130 lbs even after a pregnancy until 2016. My appendix was bad and I started throwing up. I had ZERO band pain but when in surgery my surgeon saw my band slipped and removed it. Told me I was a candidate for a sleeve but had to wait a minimum of 7 months. This was June 1st 2016. Since then I have fought off weight gain nonstop.. I have now gained 40 lbs since them. I have gone thru everything needed and now await insurance approval next week. Here is my first question. What should I expect differently from this recovery compared to a band recovery? I am supposed to be taking my son to Disney April 21 for a week. If I have surgery 4 weeks prior.. do you think I will be ok to take him still? None of my surgeries so far have been bad on me.. I didn't think they were awful and within a week I was back to normal..minus the eating.. your thoughts?

    Need your input and advice

    Yes, you have to code it under a conversion. (Failed lapband) So they don't look at bmi.
