Hi, I too have the lapband and will be having conversion to sleeve. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet as am waiting for some test results to come back. I have read that it is riskier when its conversion surgery so I am a bit nervous. I didn't have much success with the band so it really makes me nervous that I wont succeed with the sleeve. I really am trying to get as much info as possible so I can feel more at ease. Hope everything goes well with you as well.
