Is there anyone out there who had Lap Band and having any complications?  I am having Lap Band 01/05/2010 (I can't wait), and want to know of any complications that can head my way and how to prevent them.

Hi, I had the realize band done 03-20-09 and so far have had no complications. One thing that is a possiblity for any bandster is a fliped port which requires additional surgery to fix.  Now this doesn't happen a lot and like I said I have had no complications, but its something to be aware of. There are other things that can happen like a leak in your band, getting stuck, sliming, foamies but those are fairly minor problems (besides the leak).There is a lap band forum and the people there are very helpful with answering questions, I recommend checking it out. Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted.

Thanks... They told me of some of those things, but the percent of it actually happening is slim. I was just wondering of anyone actually dealing with any of those problems.  I def will keep my OH family posted on my surgery.  Thanks...
