alene 74 Posted May 14, 2013 Hi everyone! ! Well last October I tried to get my band to sleeve revision. The surgeon was able to take out the band but was not able to revise me to a sleeve because of all the damage the band had done to my stomach. So my surgery is scheduled for July 8th and I'm so excited!!! it will be 9 months from when I had my band taken out and hopefully my stomach has healed enough for my surgeon to do the sleeve!!wish me luck♥ 2 Keepgoing247 and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted May 14, 2013 Band erosion seems SO COMMON on this forum! Do you know the statistics of how often it happens, by chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alene 74 Posted May 14, 2013 I don't know the statistics on band erosion, but I spent 5 years throwing up healthy food. I sure hope I have better luck with the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me started Also if you ever get a chance check out the band forum and go to complications. I'm flabbergasted on how people on there still get the band.
