I was just wondering if the lap band, after so many years, would damage the stomach or bruise or dent it somehow. Maybe someone who has had the band removed would be able to answer this. Was your stomach damaged at all from the band. Just wondering the long-term effects.

I am going to see Dr. Rosenthal about a lap band in the middle of July when I return from vacation. Has anyone used him? If so, how was your experience? Thanks.

Wow! Thanks for you quick reply Puddin! That is amazing! I can only hope that happens to me, I am sick of popping these pills every day, besides they are expensive!!

I am seriously considering getting the lap band after being morbidly obese for the past 5 years, since having my one and only child. I am 42 years old. I am wondering if the lap band is NOT for me because I have a very acidic stomach (had an ulcer when I was 23, that is healed), but I do need to take either Prevacid or Nexium everyday, otherwise I get heartburn, regardless of what I do or do not eat. Will my heartburn get worse with the lapband?? Any thoughts are appreciated. I am looking to go to the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Fl. and meet with Dr. Rosenthal very soon!:help:
