BellaHugz 331 Posted January 23, 2014 Good luck on the 24th. My band removal / sleeve revision will be this Thursday. I hope to blog about it before & right after. Goal is to help with my recovery & help others as they go through this journey as well. Hi friends, I met the doc and my surgery is on 24th jan...He said 99.9 % he will do the revision from band to sleeve at one time. I also met two patients who had the sleeve..both recovered very fast...but liquids were very important in the first stage. So now I am confident of the operation...and I am going to try my best ..... wish me luck. Dominick hope you are doing well!! 1 Domika03 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlm59 16 Posted January 23, 2014 I wish I could explain the difference I have without the band! I am so happy it's out. I can feel a difference even with the sips that we have take. I'm 9 days out and very excited about the future. Good luck tomorrow Dominki! 2 BigGirlPanties and Jencovi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencovi 261 Posted January 23, 2014 I am having the sleeve on 2/13. I was banded in 2009 and had it removed in 2013. My surgeon recommended the sleeve back when he removed my band but I just wasn't ready. I am glad he didn't push me and let me come to the decision on my own. Good luck on Friday! Please let us know how you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted January 28, 2014 Band to sleeve revisions in one surgery are quite common and very successful. Trust your surgeons final decision .. They know what's best for the patient. If by chance they decide not to do your sleeve it's for a very good reason... Your safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
