Hi, Just joined your group. I'm in desperation and have just asked for a referral from my doctor to have the Lband out. Sick of keeping it a secret, sick of the family watching my eating habits and worrying what is wrong, sick of putting my finger down my throat to relieve the blocked food, I guess sick of just not being normal. I have never had anyone to talk to, and just reading some of your chat there does not seem anyone out there has my issues. My surgeon was Paul Dumbrell Melb. Anyone else had him?
