Ok......Story along the same lines as yours....except the Hysto....had that years ago! My BMI is 29 and currently sitting at 78 kgs, band out end of Feb by same surgeon that put it in....he saw no problem with going from band to sleeve, I was booked for the revision in one go but was warned that I had a 10% chance of too much scar tissue, guess what.....I was one of that 10%, he said come back in 3 months and I'll finish what I started, was devastated at the time but grateful now.....my band removal recovery was quick and easy, I was out of hospital the next day and back at work a week earlier than planned. I see him tomorrow for a consult and to book a date for my sleeve, the 3 months go fairly quickly and I must admit I have been able to enjoy eating anything I want to again, knowing its coming to an end shortly. I try not to stress too much over the scales, at the moment I'm staying fairly stable and hope to continue until the surgery....if you have to wait the 3 months its NOT the end of the world (even though it seems to be at the time!) I would rather be successful at the sleeve than end up with a leak, or worse
