Lap Band Erosion
I had to have my band removed as well. I revised to the sleeve 6 months after band removal. Honestly, eve though I had to go through a lot with my band (both good things and bad), I am so happy that I was able to get the sleeve. I never knew how wonderful it could be. It is everything that the band promised to be and more. My restriction is great and I can tolerate a balanced diet - including chicken and fruits and veggies. Good luck with your removal. I hope you heal quickly and are able to revise soon.
