No loss?

I had my upper GI yesterday and doc said everything with the band looks good. No erosion, no slip.  So, now I am on the path for a surgery date to get the sleeve.  I am wondering...has anyone had a band to sleeve revision and not lost weight or only lost a small amount?

Check out the sleeve forum, there are many, many who have revised and had great success! I only know of a few who have not liked their revisions. Good luck to you!

My upper GI showed everything "perfect!"  It took a scope to find the damage to the esophagus and gastritis.  It took the surgery to remove the band to find the rest.

Like Lucky, even though the GI showed normal, I had port pain, stomach pain, vomiting, reflex, one day being able to eat way to much and the next day nothing.

Sorry I can't help you with reporting no lose as I am 40 pounds less than I ever got, for just a couple days when my brother passed.  I am 60 less than the real low with the band.  I am down 80 from sleeve surgery

 

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

The one person I know who already had the revision is having much success with the sleeve. She is 7 months post op and still losing. I think seeing her success is what made me decide to make the switch.
