B-52 7,113 Posted November 22, 2014 Why was a revision needed and exactly what was done? BTW, what's wrong with 5'5 and 113lbs??? Sounds attractive to me. You said yourself it's post op Water retention, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tw42 12 Posted November 22, 2014 Well band slipped....again. Not sure how he fixed it but he pulled the slip where it needs to go and sutured it. Hopefully a slip won't happen again At 5'5" and 113 lbs was a problem....combined with being very dehydrated at not being able to keep anything down and about passing out at Dr's office....

stanpry 66 Posted December 1, 2014 I also had a hiatal hernia. Dr repaired it when he did the lap band surgery. He said it had to be repaired in order to be able to position the the band properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keeper 218 Posted December 1, 2014 Same with me @@stanpry . I have heard that the band can cause some people to have heartburn, reflux, etc, but since I had the lap-band and hiatal hernia repair, I have had NO heartburn! Yea! @@tw42 good luck with the revision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
