HELP!Gastroparesis before getting band



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of getting lap band but I have Gastroparesis and severe acid reflux. I'm just trying to find someone who has had gastroparesis prior to getting lap band and if it has made it worse or better? I have read where a lot of people have developed gastroparesis after getting the band and surely don't want to make it any worse and pay all that money and have to get it removed. Please help anybody that has been there already. Thank you in advance.

Does that help with weight loss also?

Yes - it's a WLS - but also has been used to treat gastroparesis. They discovered the weight loss benefits of the surgery after doing it for other medical reasons.

I had pretty bad gastric reflux before sleeve surgery. During my procedure my doctor noticed I had a hiatal hernia and was able to fix it while he was in there. Reflux is not a problem anymore :-)

When did u have the sleeve done and how are u liking it? Have u lost weight with it? That's what I'm going to end up getting now that I have read up on the lap band and realized the sleeve could help with my gastroparesis.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
