For anyone who had done band to sleeve revision, do you know seriously regret the revision? Do you wish you had just had the band removed and no revision?

I had the band from Nov 2007 to Feb 2014. Got sleeved late April 2014 - no regrets.  I have lost over 70 lbs and feel terrific - no getting stuck, no choking on my own saliva at night.  I know if I just had the sleeve removed I would struggle with weight forever.  So far, I love my sleeve.

Good Morning ! I had my band out 8/28 (or so) because my band slipped. Band place 2/05 removed 8/14. After 9.5 years of working with the band, of course I was fearful of having my tool removed. After the band removal, my thrill was salads, and no choking feeling, no running to the bathroom, and no hearburn at night. I had the revision to the sleeve on 10/8 2 weeks ago. I have to say the "freedom" between the two surgeries was scary, I know me, and I know that there was a reason I need a tool! Luck have it, I didn't gain weight between the 2 surgery's. *add a week cruise in there and a vacation to N.C* but with the sleeve, its like I still have "restriction" but without the side effects. I am happy I made the sleeve decision.
