Band to Sleeve Revision Concerns

[cxmm4152 4]

Hi all,

I had my band done in June 2010. I did well for the first 2 years lost 85lbs. All of a sudden I started having problems with my band, not being able to keep food down, not able to get the nutrients I needed. My doctor ended up taking out most of my fill and I was fine for a while. I started gaining my weight back slowly but surely. Currently I have gained most of my weight back. I have been miserable with my band not being able to find my "sweet spot", fluctuation of my weight, and not able to keep my food down.

I am meeting with my doctor next Friday to discuss having a revision done to the sleeve. my main concern now is I dont want to make a wrong decision with the revision.

I'm newly married and my husband and I also want to start a family someday.

Im worried about those future pregnancies and how the sleeve will effect my baby.

Any advice or experiences are appreciated. Thank you!
