Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How does VSG work if you’ve previously had an incisional hernia repair with mesh?
Gastric Sleeve and Incisional Hernia
Feb 7, 2017
Feb 7, 2017
Generally it should not be a problem to have a sleeve after incisional hernia repair, even with mesh. You do not need to worry about the insufflation of the abdomen stretching the mesh. All laparoscopic incisions are small and do not disrupt the integrity of the mesh. The only incision that is a little larger is the one that the resected stomach is removed through.
Should be fine.
Should be fine.
How long after giving birth can I do the surgery ( gastric sleeve )?
Gastric Sleeve and Pregnancy
Feb 7, 2017
Feb 7, 2017
I think you can proceed with gastric sleeve surgery within 6 months or less after your pregnancy. You should be fully recovered and able to focus on the changes needed to be successful with the procedure.
Good luck

What are erosion symptoms? Could it be diverticulitis? Weird symptoms one year after lap ban
Most Common Lap-Band Erosion Symptoms
Jun 20, 2016
Jun 20, 2016
The two most
common symptoms of erosion are either infection at the Lap Band port site, or
the feeling that the Lap Band is no longer effective. With erosion the
band is not inside the stomach rather than on the outside so it is effectively
no longer working. Vomitting and pain are not normal symptoms of
erosion. Vomitting is not a normal symptom of diverticulitis either so it
sounds like you may need some more investigations to determine exactly what the
problem is.

Can Lap Band be performed after having a tummy tuck?
Yes! Lap-Band is Possible After a Tummy Tuck
Jun 20, 2016
Jun 20, 2016
Yes, this is not
a problem and is fact a fairly common situation. The tummy tuck is
performed on the skin, fat and muscles outside the abdominal cavity and the Lap
Band is inside the abdomen so there is no problem at all.

Is it possible to get the lap band or gastric sleeve after you have had gastric bypass? And
Possible Revision Surgeries
Jun 20, 2016
Jun 20, 2016
Both gastric
bypass and gastric sleeve are possible after Lap Band and this is called
revision surgery. These procedures are a little more difficult than doing
the bypass or sleeve as a primary procedure so if you are considering this, you
should be referred to a surgeon or clinic that is experienced with the revision
type procedures. There is a slightly increased risk of revision
procedures over primary bariatric surgery as well.

Mild pain in centre of back after lap band surgery. What could it be?
Potential Gallstones – Check with your GP
Jun 20, 2016
Jun 20, 2016
Some patients
will exhibit atypical symptoms when the pouch of stomach above the band fills
when you eat. I have heard of patients that describe vague pain, sneezing
and hiccups when they are getting “full”. It is difficult to know exactly
the mechanism of these symptoms. Other conditions such as gallstones may
cause you some pain in the middle of the night so it may be helpful to have
your doctor look at other possibilities as well.

Belching after lap band? Is this a sign of something going wrong?
Potential Lap-Band De-Fill
Jun 20, 2016
Jun 20, 2016
In my opinion
there is no link between belching and your gallbladder so I do not think that
having your gallbladder removed will make any difference to your
symptoms. Belching is generally related to swallowing air when eating or
drinking. This is a habit that some people have and is very subtle and
difficult to be aware of. Again it is not specifically related to your
lapband unless the way you swallow or eat has changed as a result of the
lapband. It may help to have the band loosend a…
