Hi, yes had my band fitted with THG in march 2012, on the advice of the hospital group consultation saying the band was the best option, then i started to have a lot of problems severe reflux constant chest and back pain, even liquids would get stuck i would be vomiting blood it was so scary, after paying £5000 i could not afford to go private again for x/rays etc, with the help of my local hospital they found me a nhs gasto dr, who finally x rayed me, barium meal etc, and said the band has slipped and its got to come out, this was in june of this year, my problems have now gone but have regained most of the weight that i had lost and i am absolutely gutted, i just wish at the time of the consultation that i was told of the possibility of what could go wrong, i wish that in my heart that i would have gone for the sleeve, i cant afford another £10000 for the sleeve its just impossible:cry::cry:
