non adjustable banding



Recommended Posts

I've never heard of non-adjustable banding. The purpose of the band is to get fills put in it to decrease the size of the pouch. Usually when the lap band is put on it isn't filled until a few weeks later (depends on the doctors). Where did you hear about a band that didn't have to be adjusted? I've heard of people that didn't require fills, but never a band that wasn't adjustable. I don't think there is any such animal yet designed....what was your source.

I'm sorry I don't know this doctor but perhaps someone else on here knows something about him. I'm on the other side of the country.

Best wishes and place let me know where you heard about this band?

If I'm not mistaken, there is a non-adjustable band that is used in the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (if that's the right terminology). It's a form of Bypass that also uses a band. ???

the non-adjustable bands had all kinds of problems - which is why the ADJUSTIBLE bands were designed and are such an improvement - less problems, many more successes, much more safety. The non-adjustable bands are rarely used anymore, to my knowledge. Renee

Yeah, personally I don't think I would do the non-adjustable band. The reasons we need fills is because we lose fat around our stomachs and the band gets loose.

:biggrin1: Yes! I have two co-workers that have had a "gore-tex" band procudure done about 8 yrs ago. They had it done in Houston, Tx by a Dr. Molina. They were both very successful at losing lots of weight and keeping it off.

My great aunt had it done about 4 years ago and she eats like a person who had RNY, she's lost over 150 lbs. No problems that I'm aware of.

Dody the source is in Houston,Tx Dr Oria

I still get a nursing newsletter every mo., but I haven't read about this one, although I've been following one that is far from approved by the FDA and it will be several years maybe. It involves stapling through endoscopy, and I'm not at all sure how that would work. I haven't heard of a band that doesn't need adjusted and is permanent. Sorry.

Was wondering if anyone knows anything about non-adjustable banding or DR.Horacio E.Oria,M.D.:help:

Hi Badboybob,

      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.
