Hi , you've been rebanded too? My goodness, could you tell me

why you had to be redone and what made your decision to do it for the

second time opposed to a different type?

Hi ,

I had to be rebanded as my first band had slipped, causing a similar

situation to the one Gail described. I also suffered very badly from reflux

and in fact this has resulted in severe ulceration and inflammation of my

oesophagus. I am currently on Losec and hopefully that problem will resolve

over the next few months.

As for why I opted for a second band rather than some other form of

surgery....... I really never considered anything else, because the band was

working for me.... at least until the last few months. If this new band does

not work as it should, or if (heaven forbid) I should suffer another

slippage, then I will definitely look at other options. The only thing that

is not an option for me is doing nothing, which would result in my regaining

all the weight I've lost......... and I am *not* going back there.

All the best,

.
