Is Excessive Weight Gain After A Lap-Band Surgery A Matter Of Concern?
I had the fluid removed from my lap band in December I have slowly gained weight but over the past few weeks I have gained almost 20 lbs. My legs, hands, feet and face are all swollen. My stomach is extremely swollen and hurts to touch it or bend. I am very fatigued. I am not eating much and actually on a low calorie diet. Any suggestions, should I be concerened?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The possible causes are band non-compliance or diabetes or hypothyroidism or kidney or liver problems, etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care.
