Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit sort and specific.
Lap band is slowly getting out of fashion due to complications.
Since you lost weight but regained, the band has to be removed.
You can ask the direct questions related to the removal surgery, anesthesia, recovery time and most importantly the problems of bloating and pain.its causes, investigations and treatment at the same time.
Next question is about the gastric bypass operation as it may fell to have reduced weight on permanent basis. You have to discuss about diet and exercises too.
