removal of lap band

I had my lap band removed on June 30, 2010 and am so relieved that I had this done. Has anyone else done this and how long is the recovery? I am not going to have the band reinserted at a later date. Thanks for any answers.

Hi, O am having mine removed this week, i have had it replaced once before and now it has failed again. I am now at pre band weight. I am opting to have gastric sleeving instead. How did your recovery go after removal?

I would like to know from both of you is the removal due to complication or minimal weight lost. Please share because I'm having some issues with my band but I never thought to remove it.
