Leaking band...advice re next step

Hi All,

I am looking for some advice from people who have been in a similar boat.

I was banded in Sept 15. Since Dec 17 I have had no restriction at all, and fluid checks show i have a leak. The hospital group have said my surgeon will only take the band out and replace it rather than a partial replacement. This will cost £6250. He did say a bypass may be more beneficial but i am waiting for a quote for that but I am guessing that is out of my price range.

I have put on nearly all the weight i had lost and I really do not know what to do next. I really do not have the money to be paying for it all again

Has anyone had a successful band replacement?

Thank you in advance,

Traceyx
 
Didn’t want to read and run, I don’t have any answers but wish you luck and hopefully someone on here will have some advice to offer xx
