Banded in Feb of 2007. Un-banded in June of 2008. Desperate to be re-banded, ummmm yesterday! gained all of the 90 some pounds i lost and then some! i want to set a good example for my 14 month, but i need help. i saw the doc that did my surgery and he advised against re-banding because i am more prone to issues. Same thing with doing another form of surgery. i am just wondering if this is common. like i said i am desperate.
