Dee66 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Hello everyone. I was recently watching a show on TV called Big Medicine. There was one woman who had a "Medina Band" a few years back and they needed to remove it so she could get a GBP cause she gained her weight back. First of all, was this the first type of Lap Band? Second, the ones they use now aren't like this one are they? I was just curious cause they showed the doctor holding a band and it sure looked like the one I was shown. If anyone could clarify this information I would be very appreciative! Thanks so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearlygirl 1 Posted February 18, 2008 I think it's a non-adjutable band - no fills or anything so it wasn't incredibly effective. I watch Big Medicine too and looked it up after I saw that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dee66 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Oh good. Thanks for replying. I was a little concerned when I saw that episode the other night. That show is great and I enjoy watching it every week. Too me, it helps me to understand and to see a little bit more than just with what goes on with myself. Thanks for clarifying that information with me.

kbinaz 0 Posted February 19, 2008 I think it was the first kind of band they had and it was not adjustable and it is no longer used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinaf 0 Posted February 19, 2008 I saw this show too -well, most of it - it freaked me out - the lady said that they thought her body had absorbed it.... apparently it wasn't stitched in, and I would image no port Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
