JUST A QUESTION TO THROW OUT THERE

Is it possible to go from a transected stomach to a lap band procedure? Can they put a band on the pouch? Joanne

They can put the band on both the normal placement and around the stoma. Tek

Thank you tek. I was looking for a straightforward answer. You have educated me. Joanne

and why would someone want to do that? Are there problems someone's having?

It is a question that I did not have an answer to so I thought I would ask. Joanne

It has been done. I know a women who lost restriction and a band was inplanted to restore it. Curious? Why is this post urgent? Are you having restriction problems that may necessitate immediate medical attention? Nowhere Man/PH/Jay

am i seeing stars again?

My food intake is not restricted by much and the urgency for one may not be for another. But in my case I felt the urgency. Any kind of urgent immediate medical attention should be directed at a doctor or other qualified medical personnel anyhow. Joanne

So is the question urgent or important? Nowhere Man/PH/Jay

It is both to me.
