I am scheduled for October 15, how about you? It took my insurance company 6 weeks to approve it. I think it was mainly because my surgeon's office staff is borderline incompetent. It takes them forever to file and then respond to any requests by the insurance company.

Hello,
there is a group on Facebook just type in sleeve revision to Sadi S YOU WILL CONNECT WITH A FEW PEOPLE WHOM HAD HAD THE SURGERY. I myself was considering revision from sleeve to Sadi s in Spain with the doctor who actually invented this procedure Andre Pernaute in Madrid Spain but reading all the review and the long term I've decided to go with a full Ds. What I learn is that the Sadi S is not long term it 5 years only then you regain no malabsorption like the full Ds wii give you. Hope this help you
I was in a lot of pain everytime I ate. I actually had my revision on March 9th.
Some are done in one surgery, but more often than not it is 2 surgeries, at least a few months apart.
Because the band causes damage to the stomach, it can be dangerous to do a sleeve through the damaged area. It needs to heal first.
Band to RNY is almost always done in one procedure, because the RNY doesn't need to go through the scarred portion of the stomach.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
I am meeting a new surgeon next month to discuss my band removal and revision options. I am mostly interested in the sleeve. I've never had reflux issues so I am not too concerned about that.
I'm wondering those *****vised to the sleeve from the band, was it done in one surgery? My band has been empty for 4 years. Hoping it can be done in one.
Please tell me how the Stretta procedure has worked for you!!
