What Could Stomach Bloating Post Lap Band Removal Suggest?
for the last 6 months ( after the removal of my lap band), there is a bolge to my upper part of my stomach, and as soon as I eat almost anything, it blows out alot more. I have put on 10 kg, since june and I feel extremely unwell.
Short of breath, and the blowting is certainly a concern.
What do you recommend, and what could it be, please

Hello,
When lap band is removed
- Previously settled stomach capacity is altered again giving bloating.
- The brain does not get signals any more of early satiety, causing overeating and weight gain.
- Short breath from obesity compressing diaphragm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
