Band to Sleeve Revision

If your Lap-Band did­n’t help you reach your weight loss goals or led to unpleas­ant side effects like reflux or vom­it­ing, then con­vert­ing laparo­scop­i­cal­ly or robot­i­cal­ly to a gas­tric sleeve might be your solu­tion. This revi­sion approach:

• Removes the exist­ing band
• Reduces stom­ach size by remov­ing a por­tion of the stomach
• Helps you feel sat­is­fied with small­er meals
• Pro­motes more sus­tain­able weight loss

This con­ver­sion has become a pop­u­lar choice for patients whose band results weren’t satisfactory.
