my surgeon will only remove the band and then makes you wait 3 months to have the sleeve done.  Totally worried about those 3 months!!  How ill I survive and not turn into a house sized person again?

You can do it.  Work on changing your lifestyle and forming the habits you'll need to be successful with the sleeve.

I just went to the docter yesterday and he said the exact same thing and I have the same fear he said he can do them the same time but the % of having issues is 16-20% but if I wait and let me stomch heal it goes down to 5-6% I just don't want to go into surgery twice and time off work . Keep us posted I don't know what to do I just want one and done but I know that's not the best way to go.

That's what he says too and his mortality rate is zero so i guess I just have to deal with doing it his way if I want it done.  It will still be worth it!!
