The severity ...: of your post-operative swelling warrants a call to your surgeon, who knows exactly what procedure was performed and with what findings. We can only guess, but would urge that you don't ignore the problem.

Question 2

how long is a lap surgery?

Depends: The length of laparoscopic surgery depends on the type of surgery, the anatomy of the patient, the experience of the surgeon, ect.

Question 3

how long can a lap band stay?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Part of the initial excitement over lap band is the adjustable and reversible nature of the procedure.  While some patients do keep it for good, it does not work for some patients and complications do arise at times to require revision or removal.  If you are considering any bariatric procedure, a complete evaluation is required for you to understand the appropriate options for you.

Question 4

what is endometrial pathology?

Accepted Answer

Lining of uterus: The endometrium is the lining of the uterus that changes throughout the menstrual cycle to prepare for the possibility of a pregnancy. Pathology means "the study of disease", so endometrial pathology could refer to any abnormality of the endometrium. When a sample is taken from the endometrium by biopsy or curettage, the specimen is examined by a pathologist for cancer or other changes.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Many: The complications include any that can occur with surgery, particularly bleeding or infection. Most people receiving this procedure are non compliant and are at risk for perforating their stomach and severe infection. All efforts should be made to loose weight naturally with diet change and exercise and stress control. All the best.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depends partially on the degree of the infection, but in general no heavy work for about 2 weeks and then gradual return to normal. Need to get instructions from your own surgeon to review your specific directions.

Question 9

is endometrial thickness of 0.66mm normal?

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: If you are 21 years old, an endometrial thickness of .66cm is normal. If you are post-menopausal, it is too thick.

Question 10

what are the chances of a lap band slipping?

Accepted Answer

'2%--18%' on Website: Lap band slippage occurs when the lower part of the stomach “slips” through the band, creating a bigger pouch above the band. Either removing fluid (from the lap band) or surgical repositioning is required to repair band slippage. Symptoms include vomiting and reflux, and it is diagnosed by drinking a dye and using x-ray to observe it. See http://www.Bariatric-surgery-source.Com/lap-band-problems.
