lap band application through enterocele surgery



Recommended Posts

It sounds funny ısn’t it? But 4 months ago I had my lap band placed in my stomach while I had abdominal hernia operation: And guess what happend to me afterwards. I had my filling port right in the middle of my belly!!! And then after one month I went to doctor for my fırst

filling. But ooops! The doctor could not find the capsule. He tried lots of times but unfortunately it was nowhere . Well I am gonna tell the rest of my long story later(if you are interested in) Bye for now.

and then the dr told me to have an xray of my belly so that he can see where the port was. And I had the xray and we saw that the port had gone down to a place near the big intestines. And the dr said to me that I had to have another operation to locate the port somewhere up near my stomach. So I said ok and had the operation. And then 3 weeks passed and I was alright and then went to dr again for a fill. And you know what happened this time...

Oh yes I was so upset because of these filling failures ( meanwhile I ate even more than I ate before and put 5 more kilograms.) And I was very angrry with the doctor. I said What we shall do next ? He said we will now wait for your infection to heal. Ha!! Because this time I had got an infection around the port. Ohh how miserable I felt I cannot tell you.

I cried I was so much worried. And had so much pain and ache.

Now the infection problem is solved and my doctor called me to the hospital and said that this time he will do the filling with the help of a device which can enable him to see where he is sticking the needle.

The name of the device is something like SCOPY.

My goodness I said if something like

I said to the dr ''if such a device was available why did you put me all through this agony?''

All he says is well I tried! And I suffered so much pain !!! Because each time he tried he at least sticks the injector ten times and it hurts soo much.

Now I am lloking for the next trial. I mean filling!

Ok guys I will keep you informed. Pls wish me good luck

Thank you very muchfor your interest

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
