My BMI is 30, and i am going to have the lap-band operation??

Question

What are the disadvantges of a lapband?

Answer 1

You need an operation to have it. You have the usual risks (small) of an operation and a general anaesthetic.

Sometimes it can be too tight and food can get stuck in your gullet. Usually the modern types have an injection port where you can adjust the amount of fluid (saline) in the device.
