24th August, 2010, London. Joanna McDermott from the UK became the lastest victim of Gastric Band Surgery as she suffered from agonising pain. Joanna spent thousands of pounds on her gastric band surgery, hoping it would change her life for ever.But years on, she regrets the operation, which has left her ill and even worse as she is now gaining weight again.
For Joanna, Gastric Band has turned her daily life into a complete nightmare as she is unable to eat properly and suffers from contineous pains in her stomach. List of problems and complications after the weight loss surgery operation are endless as one may get the following additional problems as a results of the weight loss surgery:
(a) Hernia: An internal hernia may result from surgery, and re-arrangement of the bowel, and is mainly significant as a cause of bowel obstruction which can be really painful. Around 10-20 percent of patients undergoing stomach bypass require follow-up operations to correct complications, the most common complaints being abdominal hernias.
(b) Bleeding: Many blood vessels need to be cut in order to divide the stomach and to move the bowel. Any of these vessel may later begin bleeding.
(c) Swelling of the skin around the wounds.
There is also a possibility of a damage to other organs in your abdomen, bowel leak or developing a gallstones (more than one-third of patients who have gastric bypass surgery develop gallstones).
Instead of weight loss surgery one can consider natural and healthy option. All you need is active lifestyle and healthy eating habits which Joanna now wished if only her surgens had advised her on conventional diet program instead of surgery and she could have atleast lived her life fully.
