Not sure it can be done.. since they staple your stomach .. You might ask a Bariatric surgeon .. I have heard of the bypass people getting banded over their bypass..

How long have you had the sleeve, how much have you lost? Have you discussed your issues with your Dr?

I am not sure why you are not losing but does it have anything to do with eating more often than you should or not exercising or eating the wrong kind of foods? If it does then you will find that you encounter the same issues with the band as well.

Each form of surgery is a tool not a magic wand. It is necessary for the owner to utilise their'tool" correctly in order to get the optimum result.

I've been banded and sleeved, but I haven't had both at the same time. But I agree with Elcee, and I think that first, you need to discuss your weight plateau with your surgeon and dietitian.
