Passed stomach stapling?

[pinkeynurse 0]

I am new to your site and have a question. I was wondering if anyone has had any type of stapling in the past before deciding to get the band placed?

I had a successful stomach stapling in the early 80's, but the staples has come out and I put 100 pounds back on. I want to do the band surgery, but not sure if scar tissue will be an issue.

Thanks for your comments.

You probably know that your safest best course is to just discuss this with a surgeon. Hopefully you'll find a skilled one who will be able to advise you! Good luck!

I agree, the best thing to do is talk w/a surgeon. I have had 3 bikini cuts for endomitriosis and a total hyst. I also had a couple of scopes for endo. I know I have scar tissue and adhesion's. I also had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago. I let my surgeon know everything before hand. I had endo all around my abdominal-pelvic cavity. So, scar tissue and adhesion's are not contained to the pelvic area. My surgeon said it wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, my situation is completely different than yours. Only the surgeon can tell you what your options are. Bring as much info as you can to your consultation.

Good luck!
