Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery..
You must see the consultant for blood tests 6 months following gastric bypass or
Sleeve Gastrectomy. This will ensure that the surgery is working correctly and you
are receiving the correct vitamins and achieving your weight loss goals. This initial
visit can then be followed by annual checkups.
Adjustable Laparoscopic Gastric Band (Lap-Band) Surgery
After the Lap-Band, ideally your first aftercare visit should be 2 – 4 weeks
after your surgery. The first adjustment to the Lap-Band occurs on the 6-week post-operative
visit. This allows time for the band to scar in place and to minimize the chance
of the band slipping out of position.
This should be followed by regular quarterly visits for the first
year and by annual visits thereafter. Subsequent visits depend on your weight loss.
The average patient undergoes 3- 4 adjustments before the ideal
tightness is established. The lap-band generally requires adjustments when patients
are feeling hungry, not losing weight and not having satiety early after eating.
Sometimes the band is too tight and fluid needs to be removed from the band. Patients
whose band is too tight are unable to eat any solid foods.
If your band is overfilled, the
consequences may be that you are restricted from eating or taking fluids. So please
remember that for your safety and comfort the surgeon will try to reach your optimum
adjustment by coming up to the correct amount of fill fluid. This may mean that
following a fill you don't loose weight and may need an increase in the fill. So
please be patient and if your not loosing weight satisfactorily discuss this with
your aftercare surgeon.
In addition you may need the band readjusted or loosened under the
following circumstances:
- Going on holiday - loosening the band will
enable you to relax more on holiday.. it can be refilled on your return.
- Where you may have a number of long haul
flights – the band can become restricted due to the air pressure
differenced experienced with long flights.. it may need deflating
slightly for a while.
- When pregnant – the band is deflated
a little to enable you to eat more comfortably during this period.
