Dont Get A Lapband

Ive wasted 6 years having a faulty band in me ive lost a few stone but this isnt down to the lapband its down to the fault

DR Galloway Glasgow fitted faulty band in my and for yeras Fluid or stomach contents have graduly been getting into the band and filling it up making me choke i am due to finally getting mine removed after i moved to a different country for help as Glasgow wasn't helping me

yesterday some blood was removed from the band hence i have gone onto emergency waiting list for removal but for years i have told surgeons something was getting in the band even when they discovered the fluid was a murky colour

i am now seeking legal advice on Galloway and would deter anyone from using him or getting the band

only thing that's gonna work is hard work don't kid your self's its a nightmare

sleeping upright in bed as i choke if i lay down severe stomach pains chest pains and vomiting

its not nice have a good think about getting this band fitted please xx

  • Your Dr seems to have been negligent so because of that you advise everybody that they should not get a lapband. People get organ transplants and their bodies reject them - would you advise them not

  • Your Post title says "Don't Get A Lapband" when your post clearly has issues with the Doctor. NOT the band. Very misleading to newbies posting here.

  • Yes there are hundreds of failed bandsters but the successful ones far outweigh them. I'm sorry you have had a bad experience and hope you find a way to become successful in your journey.

Since the band has not been successful for you for a variety of reasons, have you considered revision surgery such as the vertical sleeve? I am sorry it didn't work out
