A member asked:
Five years after surgery, my doctor says my gastric band is now out of place. do i have to remove it? what are the risks of keeping it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow DR advice: 'out of place' gastric band can give you trouble, like stomach necrosis, bowel obstruction, perforation of stomach etc, please follow your doctor's advise or you want to make sure take a second opinion , neglecting advise is not a treatment.
