I would appreciate any and all stories of revisions to sleeve, and how you are doing. How was the surgery? Any complications? Are you losing as much as u thought you would? Thanks!

I'd suggest you contact TripMom02 - she did band to sleeve, had a horrible time with the band, great time with the sleeve, and is at goal weight now.

 My removal was a nightmare, but it was done under emergency surgery since my band was literally killing me. I waited almost three months between my removal and sleeve surgery, and honestly my revision was pretty much a breeze, I had the expected pain and discomfort but absolutely no complications and no food issues. I was home in just over 24 hours, followed all the rules and in less then seven months with the sleeve I am at goal (normal weight, normal BMI etc). 

The sleeve has done everything for me that the band said it would, I love my sleeve.

I guess I'm an anomaly,  but I have not lost any weight after revising to the sleeve (5 mos. ago) from the band. I'll be having the intestinal portion of the DS surgery in July.  

Best of luck to you,
