Hi, I’m going to Leeds Nuffield. I have a thread on here called Missy’s Journey... kind of a diary for me to keep. I had a gastric band fitted in 2013. I’m heavier now than when I had it fitted. Never reached an acceptable restriction with it. Either too tight and choking on acid in my sleep or hardly any restriction. Too much messing about having fills/defills etc and also had to have the port repositioned. It works for some but not for me. Fed up of yo-yoing and can’t get back down. I was originally 22st 8. Lost 11 stone in a vlcd in 2006 and have gone up to 17 stone. X
