I haven't posted in a while but some of you may remember how nervous I was about a revision since my BMI is only 31.
I don't even have mechanical problems with the band.  The surgeon labeled my problem being "dysphagia".
I am scheduled to have my band out July 11th and the sleeve done Aug 22nd! Yay! I am really nervous about gaining weight those six weeks waiting to get the sleeve.  It will be worth it in the long run!

Welcome back and congrat on getting approved with a 31 BMI.  There are lots of folks here who are so happy with their sleeves, I hope it will be the answer you are looking for.

What's "dysphagia"? If it's what I think it is, I personally would call it a mechanical problem...

Anyway, good luck with your sleeve. Most band to sleeve revisions are so happy. I bet you will be too.
