Never mind, I didn't read carefully.  I thought you were saying you just got the band in February.

Many surgeons will do RNY the same time they remove the band.  Others recommend waiting a month or two.

didn't have to wait at all , band out RNY same day.
Waiting was an OPTION if the doc could see a problem, I would think you have waited long enough
