Lap band to Sleeve...Please

I was banded one year ago.  I must be hones that it was nearly impossible for me to stick to the low carb diet.  I have only lost 47 pounds!  I need to lose another 40-50 pounds.  Would seeking revision be worth it? I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal- wonder if they would cover it?

I needed to loose 140

3 yrs later -- I can thank the band for 35 pounds gone

and for 3 years I've been hungrey

per aetna -- they cover band revisions with issues (like dilation) if you've been 2 yrs with band and lost less than 50% of your excess weight

I am going to see if I can get approved for a sleeve
