Have you had weight loss surgery?


If so can you please help me? I have to write 3 years of attempted and failed weight loss regimens and why it failed . I have never tried a diet for an entire 3 years so I am not sure how to write this out without incriminating myself. Does that make sense?

In just the first 3 years post-op, Lap Band reported 89% had one or more adverse events, ranging from mild, moderate, to severe. The most common were:

路 vomiting (experienced by over half)

路 gastroesophageal reflux (regurgitation)

路 band slippage/pouch dilatation and stoma obstruction (stomach-band outlet blockage)

路 esophageal dilatation or dysmotility (the long-term effects of dysfunctioning esophagus are currently unknown)

路 constipation, diarrhea

路 dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)

As Lap Band reported, in their study, 25% of the patients had their bands removed during their 3-year follow-up, most after adverse events. Another one in ten needed a second surgery to fix a problem.
