Dozy, I know this is an old post, but looks like you had your band removed shortly after you had it put in. Have you had another one or another type of WLS? Thanks,Corliss:huh2:

I lost my band Sept. 19, 2008. I have gained about 50 lbs since that time. I considered a gastric sleeve, but have decided that I would have another band placed instead. My doctor thinks that the new band should do quiet well. I would not consider a RNY due to complications that my daugter experienced. I want to have the new band placed this summer but my insurance will only cover it at the hospital I work in. I will have to pay out of pocket. I have thought maybe I should go ahead with the sleeve since I will have topay out of pocket and not take a chance on it not working. Corliss
