I have been on different antipsychotics gained weight when off it i lose weight. i will be getting lapband to reduce intake what are side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many: The most common are nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, constipation and abdominal pain, but there are many others that are related to malfunction of the hardware(either the band or the attached port) or known complications of any laparoscopic surgery. Your best bet is to review your concerns with your respective surgeon.
