Hi,

Banding will not cure liver cirrhosis. It is done to prevent further bleeding associated with cirrhosis.

You can consult your gastroenterologist and do frequent follow up.

If the liver function is so much deteriorated, liver transplantation may be the only option left.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
