Hi there, I had banding done in 1997 and had so many complications, i lost weight but couldnt stop losing and i fell pregnant. The dr wanted to take the band out but i refused but i now have a beautiful 9 year old boy, but it was a struggle, As soon as i had my baby they took the band out but i want it put back and i am having trouble getting another one as since i had it out i have put on over 70kilos
best of luck, when u hold your baby it will be all worth it.
