Gday guys, This is my first post, so plz be nice :confused: I had my lapband installed when I was 15 in 10/2000, and unfortunatley it was removed in 10/2004 due to slippage. It took me 5 days and 3 visits to convince the emergency dept that there was something wrong, and on the 5th day and 3rd visit I feinted and they finally admitted me. I had no idea it was coming, and I know that I was PB'ing alot less than most people (like once a month if that). I was completed blocked, couldnt even sip Water. Anyway, I've since regained all the weight I lost +20kg, and my quality of life is suffering greatly. I want to know what experiences people have had with being rebanded after having it removed (for whatever reason) Also, what cost is involved (my father paid for it all those years ago and I can't remember) Are doctors hesitant to reinstert the band? Also, I understand the design of the band has been changed recently, that it is made of softer material now instead of hard plastic one that I had. Sorry about my rambling post but I'm desperate for answers and I will appreciate any info I can get and be forever greatful. Thank you in advance, Ashley
