Lap band erosion is a well known late complication of gastric banding. It can occur in up to 10% of patients.

Symptoms can include:
👉 nausea / vomiting,
👉 reflux / regurgitation,
👉 port site infection,
👉 upper abdominal pain,
👉 loss of restriction or
👉 unexplained weight regain.

When there is an erosion of the lap band, the band becomes discoloured due to the stomach acid.

Removal can be performed via keyhole surgery and revisional bariatric surgery may still be possible at a later date.

Discuss your lap band issues with one of our team of doctors. Contact us via https://totaluppergisurgery.com.au/contact/

**Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health professional.⁠

Undergoing weight loss surgery can be a daunting experience. Whilst there is often emphasis on the physical rehabilitation side of surgery, it is also equally important to consider your mental preparedness, emotional reaction to food, as well as your diet.

Keeping hydrated is vital - pre and post surgery.

So it’s a good time to start being mindful of drinking water throughout the day. Especially in the summer months, make sure you keep drinking water.

The ultimate goal of weight loss surgery should be the improvement in health achieved by sustainable weight loss that reduces life-threatening risk factors, and improves day-to-day quality of life.

Undergoing weight loss surgery can be a daunting experience. Whilst there is often emphasis on the physical rehabilitation side of surgery, it is also equally important to consider your mental preparedness, emotional reaction to food, as well as your diet.

Whatever weight loss surgery you decide upon, the Total Upper Gi Surgery team understand the procedure is only the start of your journey.

It’s also why we work with a dietician to get you focused on your ‘normal diet’ and what that will look like.
