HI, im an ex lap-bander, and had it removed in 2015. Unsurprisingly the weight has gone on. My surgeon has offered bypass as an option for me, but after the bad lap band experience im very worried. Clearly the best thing about bypass is the weight loss...… but..... I'd be keen to hear about all your "bad" experiences just so I can work out if these things are OK for me - the bypass seems much bigger and more permanent! is there anyone who regrets having this done years later? Thanks in advance for your help.

thank you very much everyone for sharing your stories. I've heard dumping is terrible news, some feel sick all the time and lots of references to hair loss. It's making me a little nervous!!

ahh that's fab news!! thank you very much for sharing. It seems such a big step!!!
