Lapband Revision and Hiatal Hernia Repair



Recommended Posts

Just had my Lapband revision and hiatal hernia repair done this past Friday. I was originally banded in February 2010 and have lost 74lbs. I began to have problems with my band earlier this year when I was filled too tight. Had two cycles of taking all the Fluid out and trying again but each time I had pouch dilation and very little weight loss. I have been pleased with my band prior to these episodes and was not interested in switching to another WLS.

This surgery was definitely different from the first. I was outpatient for the first one but spent the night this time. Doctor said hernia was big with lots of scar tissue. Really sore and not interested in eating. Been nauseated with an upset stomach. Hoping that this surgery will put me back on track so at I can get to goal weight.

Just wanted to share in case someone else is in the same situation. My lesson learned is to take your fills slowly and don't rush to get to your sweet spot.

Thanks for posting your experience. My band is slipped and I have another hiatal hernia. My band will be repositioned on 12-8-11 and the hernia will be repaired.

Did you have a lot of vomiting? Is this why you think your band might have slipped?

I have had so many problems with vomiting and reflux. My band is now empty until after repair. I am scared that this will happen again in the future.

I hope you are feeling better and that your band will work great for you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
