So my gastric band migrated……
The dark part of the image is the band. Had the band put in around 30 years ago, stopped working 20 years ago and now I know why. It migrated to inside my stomach and has adhered to the wall. Emergency surgery to remove it is in six days time. Been told this is very rare and I can’t find anyone else who this has happened to. I’m very anxious. Surgeon will try to remove it endoscopically and failing that they will open me up for removal. I have no idea what to expect afterwards. I’m 62 and live alone. Has anyone heard of this happening? Has anyone experienced this? I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for reading.
