Hi there I had my band removed april.17th due to errosion and had a visit to my surgion this month to talk about the sleeve or bypass because i cant do this on my own. i have become extremely depressed and have gained almost 50 pounds since removal. dr told my he wouldnt do the sleeve because of scar tissue and possible damage but would do bypass as this would be a better fir for me.im really not sure i just dont want to feel or look the way i look now. the waiting is driving me crazy so yes i do look forward to an actual date for procedure. im supposed to meet the team or go to some seminar in the fall my dr said so hopefully in september and hopefully i can get the surgery by the new year. good luck
