Hi Roxy - you need to get this checked by a medical professional, you may have developed clotting of some sort from the operation or recovery period - there is nothing I have read in the last 12 months, that would indicate this is related to gastric band surgery......... good luck, karen

i have never heard of this problem with the lapband. sounds like Fluid retention. but that would show up in the whole leg and feet i would think. sounds strange. do you think it is a allergic reaction to medication? did you call your doctor. you may need to have a d-dimer test to check for dvt. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS. i hope it turns out to be nothing. but sounds like maybe a clot. let us know......... hope you feel better.

OMG,Roxy, i know that feeling in your thighs,, i experienced it about one year ago when i lost about twenty kilos, unfortunately ive put that weight since back on and no longer experience the pain in my thighs,,,i dont know what causes it, maybe its just a reaction from our thighs cause they are loosing weight! its worth asking a doctor though, once i start losing the weight again and re experience it i will definetely seek medical advice,,,ill be interested to know what is causing ur pain though.......please let me know!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
