Avatar n tn Unlike other weight loss surgeries which are completely permanent, Lap-Band is a reversible procedure meaning the Lap-Band device can be removed any time. So what are the possible complications and risks associated with the Lap-Band system? The risk of mortality during and after the Lap-Band surgery is very rare as compared to other types of weight loss surgery that has higher risk of death.
Avatar f tn The pain is a stabbing pain in my back on left side and some time arm pain. I also have a lap band.
Avatar f tn They gave a brief inservice to the ER staff in case any patients came in with complaints following their lap-band. The symptoms you describe sound like the band is too tight (though you say it's been loosened) or that it is slipping out of position. Have they done any xrays or endoscopy to verify that it is still positioned properly?
Avatar n tn What are the complications for having lap band removed? How long is this surgery? I have had the lap band for 2 years and have gained 20 lbs. Yes, I have had slider food. I still vomit at times when I eat too fast or not the right things. It is time for the lap band and I to part ways!
Avatar f tn I have been vomiting for the last 6 days. I don't have any other symptoms. I can usually keep liquids down in small amounts. Occasionally, I can keep small amounts of soup down but that's about it. I am not pregnant. I do have a lap band that I have had for almost 5 years. I don't believe it's causing the vomiting. I'm not getting stuck and throwing up. I am throwing up from my actual stomach, not my pouch. There has been no fever, headache, chills, or heartburn.
768754 tn?1373918737 I initially found out about my diagnosis by going to my doc and getting a second opinion on the Lap band procedure. My blood pressure was high and he wanted to up my atenolol. I advised my doc I am too fatigued now and would not want to up the med if possible. He looked at my past labs and noted my liver enzymes have been abnormal for some time and ordered a Hep panel. I'm certainly glad he did. Anyhow, my general practitioner thinks that the surgery would still be a good option.
Avatar n tn I too get mucous coughed up after eating. I have had a lap band for 8 years now.(waste of time for me-lost only a bit of weight and struggle to keep it off even eating less)I am interested that others think this could be associated with the lap band. Maybe a study needs to be done.
Avatar f tn I am considering having the lap band surgery. I am on 75mg Levothroxine. I continue to gain weight. I went to a weight loss center and only lost water weight. I spent several of dollars each month but could not keep the weight off. Have anyone been successful with the lap band surgery having thyroid disorder?
Avatar n tn I had lap band surgery about 2 years ago. I have lost over 100 pounds. I exercise 4-5 times a week for approximately 90 minutes. I do cardio, water aerobics, wt. training, spinning, yoga, body pump, and "boot camp" training. My biggest problems continue to be that I still use food as my drug of choice and have a problem feeling satisfied when I can't eat enough to medicate my pain.
Avatar n tn Dose any one have a lap band and is 26 weeks or more dose port hurt any problems?
Avatar n tn 27 weeks pregnant with lap band port hurting any one have one been there done that ?
Avatar f tn In August of 2006 I had the lap band put in and I was almost 300 lbs. I had my lap band put in and am now 189 lbs. Now that said, I had my lap band removed 2 weeks ago. I followed all the rules that should get you healthy and keep you healthy with the lap band inside you. But the side effects of the lap band had a drastic negative effect on my body to the point of me having it taken out. For the past 3 to 4 years the toilet has become my best friend.
Avatar f tn Do not get a lap band done because it will eventually erode your stomach, plus what is the band really made of? I think the sleeve is the best way to go now, I would do that if I had the money....
1615999 tn?1307461942 However the incision on my left side is still pretty sore and looks kind of raw. I put a band aid on it over the weekend and it appears to be leaking or something because when I removed the band aid there was stuff on it. I am not sure if this is normal or not. Has anyone had this happen?
Avatar n tn My daughter had lap band surgery. Two weeks later the lap band had to be removed because of infection. After the lap band was removed it came to my attention that her pre operative lab work had shown she had a UTI. My daughter is 20 years old, weighed 166 pounds with no health problems. We have heard of no one else who had to have their lap band removed this soon after surgery because of infection. It was not the incision sites that were infected but the lap band itself.
Avatar f tn What is your honest opinion of Lap Band Surgery for someone like myself who needs to lose 60 pounds, versus using prescribed medication?
299748 tn?1235156791 Lap band all the way. Gastric by-pass very bad. My husband had it in 2001 and is still suffering. Yes he is thin but no way is he healthy. Think twice before gastric by-pass. Good luck.
Avatar f tn My symptoms are after removal of lap band surgery recovery was not at all as I thought it should be. In recovery I stop breathing every time I dozed off, tested for sleep apnea only few months prior results negative. After three days I felt a burning sensation in lower area of stomach and as if something burst. (Similar to when I had a cyst burst on an ovary years ago but much more severe). I am having pains not just where the incisions are but in my back perhaps my kidney or lung area.

Avatar f tn Im had a lap band surgery 5 years ago and lost 65 lbs. I have stomach pain and diarrhea chrnoically. I have been very sick for several months. I do have part of the day I feel okay, however, In the past, I ate too fast or I was too uptight for meat to go down without it coming back up. Now Now I take benefiber X 2 per day and activa. I eat meat only a couple times per week,I only eat meat when I am relaxed. My major sources of protein is cheese.
Avatar f tn I can't speak to Lap Band, but this Limbo Lander had a BPD/DS (Bilio-pancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch) and a Vertical Gastroplasty about 10 years ago. I lost about 150 lbs. Very different from Roux-en-Y or Lap-Band. I'm still 120lbs less than when I went in for the surgery. I only absorb about 1/3 of the fat I eat and about 1/2 the protein. I have to really monitor my calcium levels. LapBand is far less invasive but was only experimental back then.
99457 tn?1321878677 just wanted to see if anyone here has a lap band and your experiences with pregnancy
Avatar m tn t keep myself away from food. My friends and family started noticing this and suggested me to undergo lap band surgery procedure from a clinic in Barrie. I have heard that in this surgery, they places a band around the stomach which makes the stomach small to eat less. But I really love food and I am nervous that if I cannot eat the food I like. Please share your experience if anyone of you have done this surgery before?
