Hi everyone! I had my band removed last friday and am doing fairly well. I have a lot of scar tissue so if fills like i have a port. Only lost 30 pounds and I had a lot of problems with it, so thats why i had it removed. I had a question for others who had theirs removed. I had a glass of wine last night and was so nauseated I couldnt even fini**** Was the liver somehow compromised because of the removal? Thanks!!! Clare

It isn't your liver it is your stomach. The stomach is swollen from the trauma of having the band and scare tissue removed. You may have adhesions on other organs. Also the bands can permanently damage to the stomach. I’m 4.5 months out from having my band removed. I was drinking some water and it stuck in my throat just like the band was there. I have a photo of what it looks like after the band is removed, funky.

If you want to know what really went on in there get a copy of the surgery notes. That was how I found out the liver had adhesions.

Check out the failed band group. You can add your story there and gain lots of info.

Take care!

I'm sure the OP did not cause her band damage due to drinking. Your post was unkind.

Steph are you talking about my post or was there another. Just wonder as my post doesn't say anything about her damaging her band to drinking.

Kate, I don't see them either. I logged out and checked too. Odd, isn't it?

Lost 271lbs with my LapBand in 22 months! My Band malfunctioned and I gained almost 42lbs and then revised to the Sleeve 9/24/12! I lost another 140 lbs with my Sleeve! Loved the LapBand and Lovin' The Sleeve!

Maybe removed by moderators?
