Hi,

There is a sub forum which is Revision - Band to Sleeve, that has a lot of great info. I am having my band removed and sleeve done in 12 days!

Good luck to you!

Cheers, Dottie

i am starting on that same journey but doing it by choice. My friend has talked me into getting my band revised due to the problems that are occuring with the band. She is an RN and has had the band, revised to sleeve so she has been there done that. So I am on the same path but have already made the decision. Good luck on your choice. I am down 190 so do understand. Good Luck..
