Hi MonaLisa2
Thanks so much for your reply. There is no medical requirement for me to have the band removed - it is something I want to do. I am getting depressed about the food intolerances and they all seem to be the healthy food choices that I can't tolerate.
I have no problem eating all the stuff that made me overweight in the first place such as chocolate, ice cream, cakes, biscuits etc.
But it depends on the individual - my sister in law has no problem except for lettuce.
My family are tired of it and want to help me keep my weight off without the band
