I was afraid this would happen...

So Sorry Scorpio Girl that you had the issues that you have had with your Band and that your Post Got High-jacked :huh:

​I'm pretty sure the only thing SG was doing here was Sharing HER experience. When Actually, if anyone has ever read the Allergan Complications lists they will see that In DEED Esophageal issues are a complication with a band.

Esophageal Dilation, Delayed Esophageal Emptying GI perforation, Dysphagia. I'm not saying just because they list it everyone is going to experience it, But they have to list it in order for the FDA to had approved it.

And sounds like SC had a few of these problems AND she had a Band ;)

And we all know the LB only causes %5 of the complications the other complications are from Non- compliance....lol (YEAH RIGHT)

.A LB after 2007 NOT high pressure? I'd love to see that proof.

NO one will argue that AFTERCARE is important, But I'd have to agree that almost everything you said to SC was a personal attack, because unless your her Surgeon how do you know what she went through? Scar tissue is a FACT with any surgery, it happens, unfortunately they can't determine the severity until they open you up to view the abdominal cavity.

QUOTE:Scar tissue forms around the lap band anyway because it helps hold it in place long term along with the sutures.

​I'd love to see the Study on this as well, because if that's the case why bother to suture? We can all just pray that the scar tissue hold the band in place apposed to causing problems.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
