In December 1983 My friend Pam had an inner Gastric Banding procedure done by a Professor S from Macquarie St, Sydney.
The operation was performed at St Lukes of Kings Cross Sydney. Prior to this she had only met the Professor only once before the operation just to be weighed. He showed her the banding then booked her in.

After the operation she only saw him twice.
Pam was aware that you could only eat very small quantities of food but there was never any discussion about the ramifications of this and within 18 months had lost the weight but gained it all back and had severe reflux.
Pam started to realise that this procedure had more side effects than she could have imagined and was not warned about any of the bigger problems or the long-term side effects.
