Re: Gangrene and Lap Bands

[Guest guest]

hi

I am horrified by your tale and wish your friend the very best.

Can anyone tell me, is it my imagination or do all the problems seem to be

coming from Australia? Is it something to do with the type of band that is

in use there? Or is it just coincidence?

Do keep us informed of your friend's progress.

Love

Janet

Hi , I've only heard what has been discussed by other Bandsters.

's problems for instance .... there has also been a slipped band.

As far as I know, no US Bandsters or European Bandsters have had post op

medical problems. Can anyone else confirm this?

Love

Janet

While I'm new here, the ones I've noticed have been specifically from Western

Australia, and even more specifically seem to be from Perth (though I'm guessing

here).

I wonder if the same doctor is responsible ?
