I have had my band 2.5 years now and in my first year have taken off a nice amount of weight but I have never been stress free from the side effects of the band. I have had numerous pouches and had to be deflated hospitalize once and now instrested in is the sleeve .What I would like to know has anybody went from band to sleeve? what was the process? Did your band have to come out a while before being sleeved? Has anyone just had the band removed and the same day sleeved?
