We had someone on this board last year who had a revision from a lapband to something else - not sure if it was RNY, VSG, or DS at St Joes in Hamilton.

Nurse Tammy on this board revised from band to RNY.  I believe you'd have to prove you need the sleeve the same as most centres unless they have eased up some on patient choice.  They always say you will get an RNY unless it can't be done and then they will do the sleeve.  Some centres let the patient pick but forget if Hamilton is one of them or not.  You may have to make for yourself to get the sleeve but worth the fight if it's really want you want.
