babybowl92912 0 Posted February 27, 2014 My surgeon said everything went really well and that I had minimal scarring so it looks like I can get sleeved in 3 months, which is the minimum wait time for his office. I am anxious to start this new adventure. I am a bit sore at my incision sites, especially where they removed my port, but I am really not enjoying the pain from the gas trying to escape my body. My shoulders are KILLING me. It is all worth it though, right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn2win 142 Posted February 27, 2014 That's great you have a successful removal was their a reason why he couldn't do it all in one setting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
babybowl92912 0 Posted February 27, 2014 My surgeon's office will not do removal and the revision in the same surgery. He has a minimum wait time of 3 months up to 6 months. He prefers that stomach have time to return to a normal shape and that way he gets a cleaner surgical line minimizing the possibility of leaks. It isn't fun to have two surgeries, but I am kind of glad to have a moment to breathe before being sleeved. I have some serious food issues that I need to work out due to several food intolerances with the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
