band over bypass
Sorry, my reply wasn't addressed TO you, just giving your name to the OP. Was that the wrong thing to do? Apologies if it was!
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
