Thank you . All the information is very helpful. My daughter had a band 4 years ago - dreading telling her that bands are no longer being used . Fortunately she has had no problems and has lost 6 stone .
Hi. I am in the UK. Had a consult yesterday re a gastric band but surgeon suggested a MGB . I was very surprised - my BMI is 36 so didnt imagine I would be considered for a MGB. Like you my loop would be shorter than someone with a higher BMI . I am concerned about ' the dumping syndrome' and not absorbing enough nutrients . Julie
