hi
im not a bandster but had bypass... and as time goes by with bypass the body starts to heal its self from the cut and paste surgery its had from bypass... which in turn means that its not quite so easy as it was in the first few years...
we get into bad habits again.. and by going to a slimming club helps some people to regain the control again... i know it certainly did for me.. i had a small regain and while i was still in my target weight i didnt like the regain so opted for SW to reel myself back to reality ...it worked

and im now back in control....
i initally was going to have a band... but after consultation with my surgeon i decided to go for bypass as it had the added bonus of not only restriction (band is purely that..)but malabsorbtion and the fear of dumping..... tho not everyone has dumping..
