Has anyone had a switch from a lap band to a sleeve? I've had my band for 2 years with no success. I either have a fill two tight to get anything but slider foods down or it's too loose that I feel no restriction. Exercising right now is Non existent bc of a condition in my feet and ankles. I can barely do much standing. Weight loss will not cure the problems in my ankles but I'm sure it would make it better. I'm thinking of getting the sleeve because I hear it's so much a more succeful WLS than RNY. Can anyone tell me of your experiences with a band to sleeve switch or even a sleeve in general? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

You aren't alone hon, there are many, many band to sleevers. Hop on over to the sleeve forum and they will gladly fill you in. I haven't read of one person *****grets their revision. Wish I could revise myself!

Yes do step over to the VSG forum. I have not seen a single band to sleeve revision person say they are not thrilled with the revision.  I'll be revising to sleeve in a week, feel free to add me to your friends and follow me on my journey.  I had a band put in 4 years ago and I"m so ready to get it taken out.


Band (09/07) removed, revised to sleeve 2/9/12.
