horsecrazy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Does anyone know what the long term effects are with the lapband? I am interested in it but some people said it can rub after a long time and cause problems. I don't know if that is a good description but anyway, I was told to do a RNY instead? I appreciate any thoughts! I guess I am just scared because I am scheduled for lap band in 2 weeks. Lou Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaR Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think they have only been doing the band in the US for the past 3 years. And Just recently they started doing more frequent bands. In other countries for 10 years. I don't think there are "LONG term" effects information yet. I expect to hear more of that information within the next 5-10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
