My insurance wouldn't cover the convertion but, they did pay to take the
band out.  I had it taken out 9/4/12 after 3.5 years and it should have come out after the first year the first time my esophagus streached and inflamed.  
I too tried to save it and make it work.  I am now trying to get the insurance
to cover the sleeve.  They started a once in a lifetime policy while I was
trying to convert.

If yours pays for it I would have already have done it.

ps there is a brand new group band2sleeve for any interested.
