Dangers of Gastric Band Surgery

THE DANGERS OF REAL GASTIC BAND SURGERY

Many people have expressed a deep fear of undergoing the knife for a surgical gastric band and this holding them back from a life enhancing/saving procedure. But there is now a safe alternative to potentially dangerous surgery.

Below is a list of the most common post-operative problems reported with gastric bands, and most patients will experience one or more of the following symptoms:

General complications of any surgical operation (so apply to Gastric Band surgery)

• Pain
• Bleeding
• Infection in the surgical wound
• Unsightly scarring
• Developing a hernia in the scar
• Blood clots

Specific complications of Gastric Band surgical operation

• Air in the chest cavity
• Developing gastro-oesophageal reflux
• Stretching of the oesophagus or the oesophagus not working properly
• Difficulty swallowing
• Making a hole in the oesophagus or stomach
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Infection of the band
• Band slippage
• Band erosion or leakage
• Failure of the band

These complications may cause you serious discomfort so that your band has to be adjusted or even removed. This entails further surgery, exposing you to all those associated risks all over again.
