How long did the surgery take to remove your lap-band and revise to the gastric sleeve? Was your hospital stay longer? Does having a band change the quality of the effectiveness of the sleeve?

The surgeon and the compliance of the patient determine the effectiveness of the sleeve. In MY case I had no scarring or damage from my band-- so it wasn't any longer on either surgery or stay.
