I was revised from lap band to sleeve on June 11th. 11days post-op I went to hospital with a leak. Esophageal stent placed and abdominal drains x2. I spent 1.5 weeks in the hospital and am now home with IV antibiotics and 1drain still in. Esophageal stent will be removed surgically on Monday. All this being said, I am still glad I did this!!!! Please pray for no more complications!

Thanks everyone for the support!! I am trying to stay possitive!!!! The best part is I am for sure dropping pounds, lol. I think I am down almost 20lbs. Not quite the way I would have done it, but I will take it. It's the silver lining, lol!!!!

 See, the great part is that no matter what complications have, you'll never lose your sleeve. Complications with the band mean losing your hope at losing your pounds. With the sleeve, no one will ever be able to take it away from you. You've got this tool for life. Congrats on your revision and I'm sure you'll be fixed up in no time.

Here's hoping for a safe speedy recovery.

I am hoping to revise from my lap band to a sleeve.  I wish I hadn't read thisthough

Did you get the sleeve during the same surgery that you had the band out?  If not how long did they wait in between?

I would love to hear it all if you don't mind the telling/retelling.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
