I'm Confused!



Recommended Posts

I have been reading up on the lap band surgery but afraid that it's going to impact my chances of ever having children. I recently submitted an inquiry about the surgery to the local clinic and sure the doctor will let me know during my consultation, but I am too impatient to find out from him.

Please Help

The lap band has not affects on you having a baby. They will just remove Fluid while you are preganant so you can eat and if your are breastfeeding they wont put it back in until you are done. Thats all.

Hi Fluffy and thanks for responding. Now I have another question; what do you mean by fluids?

When you are banded you get fills with saline that is where the port is. In order to make you stomach restricted you have to get fills. They place aport in the muscle and when you need a fill they put saline in the band to make it tighter. When your pregnant they remove it so you can eat normally

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
