I was banded in June of this year and tomorrow im going to have surgery on my knee. My question is: have any of u had another type of surgery after lap band and if so, did it affect the tightness of ur band?

Hi stephanie, I just had a partial hysterectomy 2 weeks ago, and I haven't noticed any changes in my band....

I have been banded 2 years. I had thyroid surgery a month ago and I had to have 4 ccs removed before I had my surgery. The surgeon didn't want any complications. I am ready to get a fill, but holding off until after the holidays. I have gained about 10 lbs., but sure it will come off once I get my fill. You should speak to the surgeon doing your surgery and your lapband surgeon to see what is best for you.

No changes to my band as a result of surgery. The only time I notice changes is once in a while when I fly, the band seems a little tighter for a day or two.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
