    Band Allergy

    I know this is a rare complication/side effect but has anyone ever been told they are allergic to the band? and what did you experience? My husband had the lap band put in June then for 1 week post op nothing stayed down even saliva. They did a revision and loosened the band. Still vomiting, then they removed the band and just said my husbands stomach was swollen. Now at his drs visit friday he mentioned a possible allergy to the band. I want him to be tested by an allergist to see if he is allergic to silicone or titanium.
  2. Hello My husband had the band put in mon 6/6/11, he passed the swallow test prior to being discharged from the hospital. I had to bring him to the ER that evening bc he wasn't keeping anything down. Then the next 3 days he had continuous vomiting, it was all foam and mucous. Then on friday the dr did a revision and it looked promising he was gonna be discharged the following day. Well he never made it home he is still in the hospital 1 week post band not able to even keep in saliva. He wants the band out ASAP. Anybody else experience this? and if so, how long did it last and what caused it.

    Post op vomiting, lots of mucous and foam

    They removed some fat from around the stomach and removed the stitches from around the band. And he still has continuous vomiting.
