*Susan* revision from band to sleeve

[Malaika 50]

Give it a few days and the new message board will be up and running. Alex is calling it verticalsleevetalk.com.

How cool is that ... do you know when Alex will have it up and running or will there be an official notice? If not, will you please let us all know???

Thanks!

I am hoping it's up and running in a week or so... less would be better. Alex said he would announce it here.

That is OUTSTANDING!!! This is great news

I am sure there will be a link from here over to there. I would think Alex would do that at least in the beginning.

I emailed Alex and he said he'll announce it very soon... a day or so.

I don't know of any but it's always a possibility. Whenever there is an emergency, a surgeon will convert to an open procedure.

I would not advise another band but if you want to get another one (or another weight loss surgery) they can do it all in one procedure so talk to your surgeon. I'm sorry you are having problems and hope your pain subsides.
