Obesity Weight Loss Surgery Has anyone had surgery for abdominal obesity band and weight loss? In most cases, it is a day surgery, so I read. What is the recovery time or type of complications? This band abdominal surgery is less invasive than assumed gastric bypass. I have years of yo-yo and I'm over my ideal weight 100 pounds with a lot of health problems that are exacerbated by excess weight. I just got done July 26, 2006. The surgery itself took about 30 minuets. I had very little pain after surgery. So far I have lost about 20 pounds. Before the surgery you have to lose about 10-15 pounds so that the surgeon can move your liver to perform the surgery. The liver weight lost more flexible. You should get an endoscopy because they can see if you have stomach problems. Also you must see a doctor and have a heart EKG to see if you have heart problems. Then you must go see a shrink to see if your mental capacity and that you really want this procedure. Then you must go to 2 support group and talk with others who have had surgery and people who want the surgery. These support groups are very useful. After that everything that your meeting with the surgeon and talk about the surgery and set a date. I started June 14 and and 42 days later, I was bushed. Some people take longer because they have problems losing weight or other problems. Good luck to you. I'm glad I did. You must follow a strict diet after surgery for a few months, but it's worth. I had the band procedure lap, 9 May 2006. It is the "best" I've never done anything. I've been on all types of diet and always ended up doing the things yo-yo (ie up / down several times). Anyway, if anyone has any questions, please write me. Lose and I love it! Flag No, but I had the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It was the best thing I did. If you want more info on this, please email me at brevejunkie@yahoo.com and I can share my experiences with it. The best thing I ever did. :) I lost 185 pounds in 18 months and managed to remove all but about 15 pounds of it. (Five years and two children later.:)) Gastric Bypass Surgery / gastrectomy / stomach / lapband (all types of weight loss surgery) is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is a company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery India.They for foreigners are called precursors Healthcare.I read a lot about them in newspapers and on their patient stories. I do not know. Posted on March 12, 2010.
