Band erosion to sleeve



Recommended Posts

Went (5/13) today for a one day revision but my band had eroded and attached to my liver as well. Rescheduling surgery for the sleeve in a month to let the inflammation heal. Any of you had a successful sleeve surgery after the removal of your eroded band?

I am a successful revision. My band was not attached to my liver, but I had lots of scar tissue and adhesions attached to my liver. My surgeon cleaned out all the scar tissue and adhesions but was not willing to do sleeve at that time. I healed up and went back and had an easy surgery and a quick easy recovery. I have seen several other successful band/sleeve revisions after lapband damage... several that post here.

Thank you. He didn't say scar tissue but that my stomach and liver were inflamed. He thinks he can go back in a month and do the sleeve

How long did your doc make you wait? My doc said 2 weeks but I wanted at least a month
