My surgery was laproscopic, but I only have two small scars.

One through my belly button and one just under the middle of my breasts.

Doesn't the "lap" in lapband stand for laproscopic?

laproscopic gastric banding.

There is a surgical process where doctors use natural human

Orifices to do surgery. Yes one they use is via the mouth. I don't know whether Lap Band could be done this way because of needing to cut through either the esophagus or stomach.

I had mine done with one incision through the belly button. I don't have any visible scars. I think the healing is a lot longer. It took me a while to heal, but my cycle came on the day after surgery so maybe it seemed worst than it reall was. I'm very happy with my results!:thumbup:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
