   HI,
   I'm really sorry you have not had success with your Band.  I am going to assume that you've gone as far as you can (gotten as much benefit as you can) from your original surgeon.  I should emphasize that before you give up completely you should be sure your original surgeon has a chance to help you as much as he/she can.
   
   I want to reassure you that some people don't do well with a Band, but do find success with a gastric bypass or a gastric sleeve.  I understand you are a bit put off by the magnitude of the gastric bypass, but I recommend at this point for you to seek out a surgeon in your area who does gastric bypass surgery and Band surgery so you can get a fresh start.  A good way to find a great surgeon is on the website for our national organization:  www.asmbs.org
   
   Best of luck!
