I Swallowed a Balloon Today

Hi Karen. I am glad you are feeling better. I am new to the website and am considering the lapband and am wondering if your sctricter was from the surgery.

Hi Lesweigh, welcome. The stricture is minor complication from the surgery. It does not happen with the lapband. With any prodedure, your doctor will advise you of possible complicatiions, or at least he/she should.
