hey I was just woudering if taking out the band and having the sleeve can all be done in one surgery or do I need to wait a couple of mouths for my stomach to heal?
It's up to the surgeons choice some will and others won't, depends on what they are comfortable with and how much damage the band has done. So you will have to call around and see what the surgeon's preference is.
I was just revised from a 12 year band to a sleeve on Dec 1st, My surgeon also did a hernia repair all in 1 surgery, took about an hour or so, went home the next day and took 2 weeks off from work.
Good Luck!!
