I am looking for anyone experiencing post lap band removal problems. I am hoping someone who has had similar issues and found some kind of help somewhere. A lofty hope, I think, since I am not having any luck getting help. Not for lack of trying. If you are experiencing pain, nausea, and other issues POST lap band removal and have had success in improving your situation, please contact me. I have tried SO many things, with no improvement. I have terrible pain across my back, as well. I don't drink alcohol and my lipase has come back high more than once, but still no help with that yet either. So, primarily, I am looking for any solutions anyone has found, and trying to find people with similar symptoms. I am not sure I want to stop there however, so if anyone has any ideas or information in that regard, I would be interested in that information as well. It is my understanding that you can't sue for lap band problems due to a 2008 Supreme Court ruling. It would be have to be a medical malpractice suit. Much more difficult. Thanks in advance.

Apparently, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in 2008 you can't sue for lap band problems. I still think I want to contact the FDA. Anyone with anything to add, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever get any help? I am having exactly the same situation. I don't know if you will see this, but I hope you are doing better. If you happened upon anything at all that helped you, will you share it please?? I am at my wits end. I am trying anything and everything at this point, but so far, so great improvement. Again, I hope you are better and will consider sharing any solutions. Thanks.

I hope I am posting this is the correct area. I have made up my mind to have the lap band surgery. I have been researching surgeons. I would like to know who is good and who isn't... I have read on Dr. Kuri's website (Mexico) that he has done more lap bands than anyone. Although, the sites I have gone to in the U.S., all seem to claim to have performed the most lap band surgeries. Obviously, someone is lying. I can believe that U.S. surgeons have less experience than in other countries due to all our restrictions and regulations in this country. Also, I have an additional concern which is that I have Factor V Leiden, a blood clotting disorder. One of the patient facilitators for Dr. Kuri states that they have had two Factor V patients. Please help!! I am not at all worried about the surgery itself as long as I feel secure about my choice of surgeon. Thank you in advance to all replies!
