marymary1234 14 Posted February 22, 2014 How do they remove the band? Before or at the sleeve operation? Would love to hear different views. Thanks 1 DaniCan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian Zaccone 243 Posted February 22, 2014 Well I have heard this is very very very common. Thats why my surgeon doesnt even do band any longer. My understanding is they do the whole procedure at once. Cut the band out and convert to sleeve. I wish you the best of luck.

Revision12714 10 Posted February 22, 2014 My surgeon took the band out and did the sleeve all in one surgery. 1 DaniCan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbering 4 Posted February 22, 2014 most do both surgeries at one time. mine slipped and had to come out emergency you will need a revision. which is band to sleeve. the sleeve is sooooo much better then band what a difference 1 DaniCan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yojo 4 Posted February 24, 2014 Depends on the surgeon. Mine is scheduled to be done at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
