Horrible Lap Band Surgery Experience



Recommended Posts

I got my lap band about 12 weeks ago. My first fill my Dr poked a hole in the tubing. Im having surgery to fix the port Jan 4. Yesterday I found out the band has now slipped and is sitting on the top of my stomach with no pouch. I can't eat anything without throwing it up. He is supposed to stitch a flap of the stomach over the band so this doesn't happen. Did i do something wrong here? My Dr and nurses don't seem to care

Doesn't sound like it's anything you have done

! Hope everything gets sorted for you soon. Merry Christmas.

I'm so sorry you should see that Dr does all repairs free. Or if insured well you might want a second Dr check onto it.
