DS after lap band ersion

 Hello all
I am new to this forum. I had lap and. In 2008 and lost about 40 lbs.  I was just Dx with erosion in 3-6 months I can possible have another surgery and I am considering DS.  Looking for info on anyone who might have had DS after band erosion.  

Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the reply. My band has been the perfect storm. I have had every complication you can have.  Port flip, port infection, and on and on. No md here in ky do DS. And my surgeon say be cause of build up pressure from the sleeve they make with DS I wouldn't be able to have DS.  I would love to hear more of how your story went and what your experience has been. 
I am scheduled for band removal on 8/1/12. 
How long did you wait from removal till you DS ? 
How much did you lose with band ?
How much have you lost with DS ?

Sorry for so many questions but just trying to wrap my head around it all

Thanks !!!!!!

 I don't know who told you that you could not have the DS after your band problems, but he/she doesn't know what they are talking about.
You need to check with a surgeon that you know can do the DS, any the others will tell you all kinds of horror stories that just aren't true.
I had a revision from the lapband to DS done in Brazil, it was cheaper for me having it done there instead of the US. 
I had nothing but problems with the band and my surgeon had no problems revising me to the DS.

The list of surgeons there are all good vetted DS surgeons and you can be sure you get a true answer when you ask about the DS>

Good luck

I totally agree with Herman. You need to see a vetted DS surgeon, even if that means you have to travel.

Good luck!
