Hello everyone I have had gallstones which caused a horrible case of pancreatitis and I had to have my gall bladder removed has anyone else experienced this? I was completely healthy before I got banded and my friend that recommended me get a lap band is also having these issues I'm just wondering how many others experience this. Pancreatitis is the worst thing I have ever experienced and if I would have known this was going to happen I would have never got banded

@@enjoythetime I can't find the message with your recipes can you please resend them! -
I guess what I don't understand is why my surgeon did not say to me "if you have any problems please get it checked out immediately" I was not educated on the side effects at all. Therefore I thought my gall stones where just pain due to something being stuck in my band so I didn't get it check out. Had I known gall stones where common after WLS it might have had a different outcome

Not me. I've been banded since dec 2013 and haven't lost any weight the aftercare person I saw for the first 3 fills missed my port every time so I didn't get a fill at all.. 3 months wasted then they filled it too much and I was throwing up everything.. So that's 5 months wasted and now I have pancreatits from gall stones (was perfectly healthy before the band) and I can't continue my care until I get over that.. So good luck I'm already 9 months in and slim results

Gall stones And pancreatits
crystaleffexx replied to crystaleffexx's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes it is the most excruciating pain I have ever experience and I have 2 children and even 1 csection. I actually thought that maybe there was something getting stuck in my band the first few times because the band was new to me and I didn't know any different and it was a weird squeezing feeling and very painful but I later found out.. Months later it was gall stones. -
Yes I did I have my gallbladder taken out 8 months after I was banded and it seems to be fine.

Omg I am so frustrated I was banded 12-12-13 and I only down 6lbs from surgery date!! Please tell me someone out there experienced this.

So you say your a slow loser.. How much have you lost so far? I'm also a slow loser and need some motivation -
Hi Lynn.. I recently had to have fluid removed and I can eat eggs just fine now before it was a struggle but I try to drink a protein shake every single morning but it's really hard I try to eat about 1000-1200 calories a day but it's the carbs and liquid calories you have to watch.

Where did you get lap band in Dallas?
crystaleffexx replied to 50lbstogo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded at True results dr B also.. I was recommended by a friend that had phenomenal results.. I agree with the aftercare I was banded 12-12-13 and I don't like the inconsistency of the aftercare personell they all say different things.. I am down 20lbs though -
Hi Lynn I was banded 12-12-13 and I am having the same issues as you.
