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.

      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! 😞
