Prior verticle C-Sections & lap band

[ragdollx19 1]

Forgive me my mind has been spinning with reasons they could have to tell me I am not a canidate for the lap band and was wondering if anyone had experience with prior surgery incisions being an issue with getting a lap band? I have had two c-sections, one a classic bikini cut, the other a verticle cut from my belly button down.

Has anyone had any issues with prior surgicle scars?

I havent had surgery yet but, I have also had two c-sections both verticle and it has not been mentioned. I was kind of thinking that maybe it would be easier for them to just go back in the same scar. I guess this wouldnt make it laproscopic than, but I dont care what ever it takes. If you think about it there is already one scar why make more. Also this is just me being crazy, but why do they just push the fat to the side when they could just as easy take some out. I wouldnt mind:biggrin1:

I had two c's, both bikini cut. I don't think your incisions would make a difference.

Your uterus is nowhere near your stomach. I cannot imagine even a vertical cut causing them to deny you.

I had surgery on April 9th. I've had two vertical C-Sections and a gall bladder surgery. No problem with lap band surgery.

Thanks for all of your replies!

I had two vertical c sections and had no problem. The surgery is just below your breasts so it is not near your uterus.

By the way for the first couple days I compared the surgery to a upper c section, that heals a lot faster
