BAND TO SLEEVE

[lauriearnold 40]

i had my band removed on 11/4/14, let me tell you that was a really bad surgery. the band had eroded into my stomach and he literally had to sew my whole stomach back together again. Now i have to wait 3 months but i'm wondering if i should go ahead and get the sleeve in 3 months. i'm king of worried that this is like the gastric and i'll gain my weight back and i didn't gain any weight with the band that i had for 9 years. Any info that could help me figure out what to do?? I'm afraid of gaining my weight back.

I had my band out 2 years ago and in spite of best efforts did regain all but 30 pounds. I had the sleeve last week and wish I had not waited so long

What do you mean.. ""Iike the gastric"?

I revised from band to sleeve II n 2011 and currently maintaining 160# weight loss. Best decision EVER.

I had my band removed in April 2013 due to slippage during pregnancy. Unfortunately, I gained all 90 pounds back that I had lost. I just had the sleeve done on Tuesday 11/18/14. I'm hoping to lose even more than I did with the band!

Has anyone gone from lapband to the full gastric bypass?
