unable to be banded

[informednomore 0]

Hello,

I am curious if anyone was physically unable to be banded? This is what happened to me. I thought I was ready for every possible complications...I guess I was EXCEPT for non-placement. Never really understood this was a rare possibility. I won't say it wasn't mentioned, but I will say I have no recollection of it ever being mentioned. Although I am sure somewhere in waiver we all sign prior to surgery (in the very small print) it is probably listed. Let me say, I researched & did more reseach and finally I picked an expirenced surgeon w/ a great record, and a world renowed hospital. I was told it was due to abnormality in my anatomy that I was unabled to be banded.

I had a second attempt at band placement by my original doctor assited by another world class lap-band doctor preformed @ same hospital. The second attempt was also aborted only this time due to scare tissue (internal) from the first attempt. I would still have lap band placed if it was viable possibility. So I guess I'm curious, looking see if there is anyone who may have had band placed after several failed attempts & lots of scar tissue.
