FAQ

  • Will I be sick a lot after the operation?
    The LAP-BAND® System was developed to limit the food intake in a patient-friendly way. If you regularly feel nauseous or sick, it may mean that you are not chewing the food well or following the diet rules properly. It may also mean that there is a problem with the placement of the band, so you should contact your doctor. Vomiting should be avoided as much as possible because it can cause the small stomach pouch to stretch or may lead to slippage of part of the stomach through the band, thus reducing the success of the operation and in some cases, requiring another operation.

  • What about pregnancy?
    Becoming pregnant can be easier as you lose weight because your menstrual cycle may become more regular. If you need to eat more while you are pregnant, the band can be loosened. After the pregnancy, the band may be made tighter again so that you can go back to losing weight.

  • How much weight will I lose?
    If the band is in the right position and you are committed to your new lifestyle and eating habits, you may lose between one-third and two-thirds of your excess weight. It is important that you lose weight gradually over a period of 12 to 18 months or more. Rapid weight loss represents a health risk and can be associated with a variety of problems, of which nausea and vomiting are only the most minor examples. A weight loss of 2-3 pounds a week in the first year after the operation is a possibility but certainly not a rule. Twelve to 18 months after the operation, weekly weight loss is usually less. Remember that your primary goal is to achieve a weight loss that prevents, improves or resolves health problems associated with obesity or morbid obesity.

  • What about other medication?
    You should be able to take prescribed medication. You may need to break big tablets in half or dissolve them in water so that they do not get stuck in the stoma and possibly make you sick. You should always consult the doctor prescribing the medication regarding this. Your surgeon may advise you to avoid taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers since they may irritate the stomach and could result in problems requiring band removal.
