Gastric Bypass, MacLean Surgery..
You must see the consultant for blood tests 6 months following gastric bypass or MacLean surgery. 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 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.
