Does Lap-Band surgery fail a lot?
I have a few questions.. =]
would the staples rust? or are they a special metal?
are the fat lipids actually attached to the organs?
what happens to what is already in the small intestines that you passed up?
do the stitches dissolve after a certain period of time? or do they just stay there?
do people who get this surgery ever suffer from nutrition problems?
P.S. sorry for the questions =/ it be cool if you’d answer them though don’t have to. =]
[ this is very cool by the way (= ]
Another Bad Band Pt:
… hungry all the time, I did nothing but vomit the food back out, got to the point that I could not even consume water..
I went back and was told I probably had a blockage…I have more days of vomiting most everything I eat…. other times even liquid comes back up….this is not how I wanted to lose it….I want to be healthy, not sickly..I worry about the long term effect of the constant vomiting……
thanks for the info.
