Facing a Revision

I was banded in July 2010, Slipped band was replaced in October 2012... then a slip in April 2013 that was fixed with an un-fill.  Fluoroscopy this morning showed another slip and my surgeon says we should revise. I had already told him if it was slipped that I wanted to revise to sleeve. I am 25 lbs from my goal weight and KNOW that I cannot do without my weight loss tool! Would love to hear from any bandsters who have gone this route. I am so disappointed, because I love my band, but it obviously does not love me. 

Unfortunately it happens MORE often then most people are aware of GOOD LUCK with your revision!

I am a band to sleeve and am doing great with it.  I am a few pounds from goal.  The doctor is saying as I have lost all fat on my upper body, I am probably where I should be.  You are stronger than me, I would have fought for the sleeve after the first slip.  I understand your disappointment.
