In 2006 I finally decided to have the lap band. Best decision I ever made. I was at my highest weight ever. Was wearing size 28 clothes (UK) and was not very happy with myself. I slowly lost weight, but unfortunately last year, in 20008 (i was a size 16), the band slipped as I had a bacterial infection. I had to have the band removed and since then (a year ago) i have put on 3 stone and am wearing a size 20-22. I decided to have the band put back in, but due to the bacterial that I had, it can easily return and so a band is very high risk. I have been advised to go for the bypass, of which I am looking into now! Will keep you updated!
