This patient support community is for discussions relating to lap band surgery for weight loss, complications, finding a surgeon, whether it is right for you, nutrition, recovery, risk, and pre- and post-op issues.
Anyone know anyone who has removed the lapband? I have had some terrible experience -- so tight I nearly drowned in my own saliva for 24 hrs and no one in ER could do anything because they didn't have the needle to release the salineTransvaginal ultrasound. Happened again...I am done with it. Lots of money down the tubes. The surgeons were terrific, the after care diabolical.
