Hi Donnie, welcome

I didn't have an eroded band but had an all in one revision. My surgery went through excellently and very few and minor complications, such as pain while eating, bad nausea, some vomiting. I think mine may hve been a little more extensive than usual because I was a revision.

Are you getting a revision and have an eroded band? I'm wondering if they may remove the band first, let you heal then proceed with the sleeve.

Hi LilmissDiva Thanks for the reply. I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexico in June to have revision surgery and found out that my lapband had eroded into my stomach. Dr. Aceves removed the band but didnt feel comfortable enough to do the sleeve at the same time. I will be going back towards the end of the year to be sleeved. I havent seen many sleeve patients that had an erosion. Just wondering if theres been many and the results.

Ok then, well I'm glad to know you found out about your erosion! Those are so dangerous and so good of Dr. A to stop the process and let you heal first.

I don't know of anyone who had erosion and revised to sleeve or I would lead you there - sorry. Good luck in your research! I hope some will reply.
