Question For Dr. C

ItsGottaGo! · June 23, 2006

I was just wondering if the lap band, after so many years, would damage the stomach or bruise or dent it somehow. Maybe someone who has had the band removed would be able to answer this. Was your stomach damaged at all from the band. Just wondering the long-term effects.

I think I just answered this over on the ObesityHelp lap band board!

This is the same thing as a slip. It's certainly not good, but it happens. Should be fixable.
