patina21 0 Posted August 23, 2015 Hello, I just want to know costs involved when anyone had theirs removed please.... I am needing to have my Band out ofter 10 years of pain and discomfort. I have an Autoimmune disease and I'm told its not good to have this surgery with this. Dr Jay in Dallas did it. DR Jayaesseelan ? wrong spelling. I lost 50 lbs and I've now gained back 30 of it. I have discovered this: Your problem is overeating. You can have a band on your stomach, but the main problem is still there... I lost 130 lbs the hard way before this. It was simple, low calorie and exercise everyday. I kept it off for 10 years. I slowly started putting it back on when I slacked off on my daily exercise. I found out my Insurance would pay for lap band so I took advantage of it. Wish I hadn't. I am now losing the weight again through diet and exercise. Ill stick with this until I reach my desired weight again . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
