Doc wants me to wait 6 months to have Sleeve after LapBand removal?
Hello! I had LapBand surgery in August 2012 and have suffered a prolapse. I am wanting to have the band removed and get Sleeve revision surgery but my current doctoe (not my original surgeon) said I would need to wait 6 months after the band is removed to have the Sleeve put in. Does this sound like normal protocol? TIA!
Some do, some don't! I suggest posting on the VSG board, there are quite a few band to sleeve people there.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
