lap band application through enterocele surgery

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.

Thank you sweetheart. I hope this time the dr. will be able to hit the right spot and enter the capsule! He called me and told me to be at the hospital :cryon Thursday.

Well I am Turkish and my doc is supposed to be the best one in Turkey.

I mean concerning these operations. But he had a new experiment with me . He placed my lap band during my tummy operation. Therefore the

port of the band he had to place somewhere in my tummy and it got lost. And now although the place is fixed he can not reach to it at one shot. Very weird situation indeed.:cry

I take it your doc does not have a great deal of experience with banding?

I have now a 5.5 cc fill in the band but that does not control my eating at all. Really, I have no difficulty with the swallowing or eating. Sometimes it hurts a little if I do not chew properly but it passes quickly and again :sad_smile: I go on eating as much as I want.:scared2:
