Girliegirlgirl...I was concerned about complications. However, my band had slipped and was causing me chest/ribcage/arm pain and numbness. My doc advised the revision. Recovery was a little longer due to me feeling nauseous the first couple days. I was a little weak the first couple weeks also. When I had the Band surgery I had more pain around the port incision. I feel good now

thanks you for your input. did the same dr who put your band in revise you to a sleeve?? looks like you are losing weight nicely too!! keep up the good work!

Yes same doc. I made the choice to get the LapBand. I thought the Lapband was less invasive. In our first consultation he said he had to remove soooo many bands. But he has to let his patients make their own decision. Never thought MY band would slip! Thank you
