Revisions
Has anyone ever heard going from Ruen-y to lap band to gastric sleeve? Should I add more? Ruen-y was great. After 18 months harder to loose; started gaining some back. Saw an ad for a doctor who did Ruen-y with a lap band around it. Worst mistake I ever made. Am considering getting all the fill out or removing the entire band; but was wandering if sleeve was viable option?
From what I understand you can revise a sleeve to by-pass but not the other way around. Work the tool you already have!

If you've been unsuccessful with two surgeries, what would you hope to gain with a third?

Revising from RNY to sleeve is extremely complicated, and pointless. It won't help you. RNY to DS might help you, but you will still end up being able to eat too much and gain weight.
Getting rid of that band is a good idea though.
