hi everyone, im new and i hope im in the right place. im so glad i found this website its great. i was looking forward so much to getting my lapband after wasting so much time debating it. unfortunatley i have a question that im really scared could mean i cant get a lapband. my problem is that i remembered that about 2 and a half years ago my doc said i had an ulcer and i was treated and have been ok since. but my fear is that if you have had an ulcer or a history of one ,as apparently you can still have one with no symtoms - go figure! does this mean that you cant have a lapband. i would be so grateful to anyone who has knowledge or experience to help me answer this question. for instance can the surgeon place the band away from an ulcer so it doesnt irritate of affect it. im really panicing that i wont be able to get my band because of this. again i would really appreciate anyone coming back to me who has any experience or knowledge/any information that could help me with this. thank you all so much luv cakey:confused::thumbup:

hi everyone, im new and just starting to educate myself so i can get a lapband, i mean i want it yesterday so so bad. my problem is that about 2 years ago my doc said i had a ulcer. i havent had any ulcer related problems since i got treated but my question is can you still get a lapband if you either have an ulcer or a history of one. even if you have an ulcer can the surgeon place the band so it doesnt irritate it or be near it. i would really appreciate if anyone who has had this particular problem or knowledge of what happens in this situation contacting me. after making the decision to go ahead i remembered the ulcer treatment and i would be gutted if it meant i couldnt go ahead and get my lapband. again i would be so grateful for any information you could give to help me. thank you so much luv cakey:confused::thumbup:

hi melaniediva1, just a quick message to thank you so much for your kindness replying to me. it gives me so much hope and such a lift! you are so sweet. i didnt think about what you said about eating and emotions, but the minute you said it i thought of all the times i was eating stuff i wasnt tasting, didnt want or need and was busting full, so although i hadnt even thought it really i think its true and as you say very powerful and you need, or i ll need to deal with it too. im very happy that you have come through the operation and are doing so well and long may you keep doing so, i ll be routing for you. so thank you again, i hope we can have the odd chat and would love if you let me know from time to time how you are getting on. mostly im just very pleased for you. it takes guts to go through the operation or any operation and seem a very brave person. i wish you all the best and hope to hear from you.
