Does anyone have any long term problems with their lap band? I have had my lap band for over 4 years and had a couple of things go wrong with the actual surgery but it was all fixed. Since then i have only lost 40 lbs. but the weight is not bothering me what's bothering me now is all my stomach issues. I have ulcers in my stomach and in my intestines, I belch all the time (which is so embarrassing) i have gas problems and just anything related to gastric issues and most doctors are so hestiant to touch you as a lap band patient that its so frustrating! SoI have tried looking online to see if there was much research on long term effects of the lap band but I can't seem to fine anything So I am here asking if anyone else is experiencing the same issues or different issues. Please help!
