I'll be going in for a one stage revision, and am worried that it'll become a two stage. Are there any people who has had the band for many years? I've had my band for 8 years with good success ~100 lbs with little or no problems and maintained that weight loss but doctor suggested I get a revision to gastric sleeve since I've remained the same now for the last 3 years. I have about 70 more lbs to go. Thanks.

I go 6/30 for revision - he plans on taking band out and converting to sleeve all in one operation. So I hope I wake up with my sleeve - had my band 9 yrs

i am trying to get my band removed and have decided for the sleeve. Has anyone had both done the same surgery band removed and sleeve done. I am afraid I keep gaining weigh. I feel like the process is taking forever.

Hi! I'm almost 2 weeks post-op and my doctor did the lap-band removal and sleeve at the same time. I'm feeling great, but I do have some pain in the incition where the port was. The doctor told me that the port was placed deeper into the tissue and that was kinda difficult to remove. Other than that, I feel really good. Freaking port, not even there anymore and still causing problems, sigh.

Good luck on your journey!

Hello all, I have been approved and received all of my next dates for Gallbladder test, Endo, Pre-op, surgery date, and 1st Post-op. I started this process in February 4th (2016) and my surgery is August 8th (2016). Thats still right at 2-months away, but I'm praying the time goes fast! I am not nervous, I am not doubting, I am ready for my life to change for the BEST! I'm also praying and hoping the best for you and our fellow weight-strugglers! Lets get it done and begin again...
