I was wondering if anyone out there knew of the statistics on lap-band revisions to DS??? I have to go back tomorrow to get the letter from my PCP and I want to be ready.


Thanks!

I'm having my revision on the 29th. Hope all goes well as I just got called back to work for a 6 week stint and I'll only be taking 1 week off baring no complications.....I think so far they have been very good. Much better odds than the band alone...

 Hello,
There is no published reports of Lap Band to DS revisions.
From my own professional experience, it is an easier revision to do, than a patient that had a Lap Band revised to RNY, and not is getting it revised to DS.
I would suggest that you research procedures on their own rather than the revision data.

Good luck
