Hi I live in the UK and had my band fitted in March 2005 and like you feel there is somthing wrong with my band, I feel that this happened just after my operation I think the Bad slipped or somthing, Im very dishartened about the whole problem and wish that I had had a Gastric Bypass instead of the Band. I have put weight on and not taken it off whT SOVER i LOST 7LBS At the beginning and remember that the Surgeon said to me I was a hard person to operate on, I dont know about you but I have 2-3 inch in length scar which should have been under the breast bone, but is lower than the breast bone by about a good half an inch lower. I also have 6 other lacerations to my body as the surgeon said he need to cut further into my body as i was difficult. There was another lady from the UK who went under the knife and returned form Theatre without having the operation done whatsoever.

Sorry to bore you with my problems, and I would quite understand if you did not reply as I dont know you personally but I was wondering if you may have any advice for me or any other person on this web site who might be able to help me as to what to do. Do you know of any person who has sued the doctors or medical Authority for not proforming this surgery correctly.
Here is hoping you maybe able to help
