St Mary's also told me they no longer fund/do Gastric Bands when I was choosing the surgery that's right for me and they are also anti band in the seminars and when talking to them. Stating the longer term - 5 year plus - complications if a band are higher than a sleeve/bypass.
However, they still give out leaflets on the band.
Bares no real insight to the topic, but I think all providers have to show all surgeries no matter their opinion, Although my surgeon refuses to perform band ops, as ultimately it's an individual choice.
I think it's a topic many of us will be divided over. Nonetheless, we are all in the same weight loss boat and the health of a person overrides which surgery is best.
If you're having complications and don't have aftercare anymore, contact a reputable company to get a consultation/advise. Or if possible see if your gp can refer you to a Bariatric clinic via the NHS and hopefully the issue will get sorted xx
