Dolittle Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 There are several lap-band manufactures,, Inamed and the Johnson and Johnson Relize band are some of them. If you go to the Relize website there's a nice video that shows how the band is placed inside of you and what the band does. Check it out,, its very educational. http://www.realizeband.com/dtcf/pages/how-realize-works.htm Also here is the Inamed video. http://www.lapband.com/lapband/html/lapband524.html
mona-camille Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Do you know whether Dr. Ortiz uses a few stitches to attach the lap band to the stomach to help prevent slippage? The doctors here do that and it seem to help tremendously and lessen the possibility of slippage occuring.

When I had my surgery Dr. Ortiz was using the Pars Flaccida technique and also stitched the band to your stomach to help avoid slippage.

magpel Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I thought I read somewhere that you were NOT supposed to stitch the band onto the stomach. I'll have to find where I read that. I wonder if that's something new, and Dr's or no longer stitching or what. It's very good information to have, and to ask.

Well, my sister was just banded 1/4/08 here in sthe states and she was stitched. I hope they do stitch. I would feel a lot better.
Kim2BSlim Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks for the links..I look forward to watching them! I want to be stitched too.
