broken lap band
RNY on 10/06/14
Leaks are relatively easy to repair. Mine was in the tubing about 3" away from the band itself. My surgeon cut out the leaking part, reconnected the ends. He went in through one of the existing incisions. That was about four years post-op. Everything has been absolutely fine since then, over four years ago.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
