Sleeve ???

Hello everyone!
I just joined a few minutes ago so I'm still getting the hang of things :)


I'm interested in getting a revision from band to sleeve. However, I'm finding very little info from "sleeved" people that help me in making my decision.

A few things I want to know;

Have any of you had Dr. Eid perform your sleeve surgery?
He's a wonderful doc!! He did my band but due to lack of insurance I couldn't get my fills when needed so my weight gain is back :(

Do you know which sleeve person on this farthest out?
This is a concern of mine during my research.

Thank you in advance for any/all replies!

Also check the lap band forum. I have seen posts about people who had the revision.

Good Luck!

Have zero information on that specific surgeon.

I'm 3 years out from my band to VSG revision.

The other long termers I've seen around are 5-7 years out. They post very rarely.

If you have any specific questions that we can help with, please feel free to ask. You can also visit
http://vsgfaq.wordpress.com/ for some personal stories, lots of basic information and at the bottom are some older research links. You can also visit pubmed.com and springerlink.com for research articles, abstracts and scientific information on VSG.

Thank you ladies for your input :)


I just noticed that there is a section for revision too... YaY!
