I had mine done at the same time - works like a charm. No problems, great weight loss, massively improved quality of life. Would do it over again in a heartbeat. Seriously!

I had mine done at the same time. I did have a complication with my gallbladder removal portion of the surgery, but nothing related to the band removal and revision. Best decision I ever made and mine was done laparoscopic.
Best of luck to you.
Lapband surgery in 2009 - Revision to RNY August 13, 2013 with gallbladder removal.

Mine was done in the same surgery as well. Minor complications and I am down almost 30 pounds. There were 3 other people on my floor that had theirs done at the same time. For some surgeons this is common practice. I would not have changed a thing.
