Consumers all over the country have been promised answers to their weight problems through a variety of diets, drugs, and surgeries that promise to boost their self-esteem and their health. However, relying on an invasive surgery like the Lap-Band to meet health goals over maintaining good habits through diet and exercise inevitably has its risks and possible complications. The Lap-Band system is described as a seemingly simple way for extremely overweight people to lose weight fast. This occurs after an invasive surgery, where an adjustable band is placed around the stomach of the patient, reducing it’s size and causing the patient to eat far less than normal. However, the lap band procedure (aka Laparoscopic Gastric Banding) has many issues. Aside from just costs of the procedure (the average cost for a Lap band surgery is anywhere from $17,000-$30,000) there are many serious side effects. Lap band lawsuits are becoming more and more common as the amount of people seriously harmed continues to rise.
In one study, research found there was a 26% chance of developing complications after having a Lap Band surgery done. While death is not likely to occur – 3 fatalities to every 1,000 procedures – It is still a possibility both during and after the surgery.
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding surgery falls under the category of “bariatric surgery”, which is only 1 of the 4 types of weight loss.
The four types of weight loss surgery procedures available are:
- Laparoscopic gastric banding (Lap-Band)
- Vertical sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Band-over-bypass surgery
The Lap Band Surgery
During the Lap Band procedure, an adjustable silicon band containing a reservoir gets placed around the upper part of the stomach. The doctor will cut several small incisions and place a camera, and other surgical tools through these to allow the device to be wrapped around – forming a ring. Patients need to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40kg/m2 or greater, or a BMI of 35 or greater with at least 2 comorbidities before undergoing the surgery. In most cases, this would be 80 lbs. overweight for women and 100 lbs. overweight for men.
A thin tube will be attached to the ring and left under the skin, providing an access port for the doctor to make adjustments to the band. A small needle containing a type of saline solution is distributed through the port – by increasing or decreasing the amount of saline added, the band could either be tightened or loosened. By having a tighter band, this process changes the stomach’s size, which helps you feel full sooner and eat less.
While in surgery, the band will not be inflated. For the band to be adjusted, you will need to be fully recovered from your surgery, taking anywhere from 4-8 weeks. The surgery itself takes around one hour in the operating room, and one night of recovery in the hospital. In some cases, hospital stays may last longer.
Post Surgery Complications, Side Effects and Risks
Research has showed that almost half of all patients who have had the gastric banding surgery experienced some type of malfunction or erosion, which caused them to have the band removed. Although it may be the least invasive weight-loss surgery – compared to the stapling and cutting of the stomach during a gastric bypass surgery – the Lap Band has showed to also be the least effective in actual weight loss.
While the band is inflated, it is actually squeezing the stomach together creating the patient’s desired diameter for the food opening. While some inflammation and swelling in the stomach is normal to occur after a band insertion. There is also risk if too much swelling were to occur, a blockage would be formed causing food unable to pass through the stomach.
Between 15-40% of patients experienced the most common problem of the Lap Band surgery, known as band slippage. This happens over time by the ring slipping down the stomach, causing another surgery to repair and restore the normal band positioning.
Other reported side effects of the Lap Band have included:
- Implant migration (band erosion, band slippage, band intolerance, band leak)
- Port problems (port flip, port infection, port dislocation, port leak)
- Stomach obstruction
- Esophageal dilation
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Blood clots
- Gallstones
- Nausea and vomiting
- Bowel function changes
- Difficulty swallowing
- Poor nutrition
- Dehydration
- Internal bleeding
- Pouch dilation
- Infection
- Extreme Dehydration
- Constipation
- Constant and severe nausea
- Erosion of Lap-Band into the stomach
- Ulceration
- Tear in the stomach wall
- Indigestion
- Blood Cots
- Death
Lap Band Studies
In 2011 – a study was developed which followed 82 patients who had undergone the Lap band surgery between 1994-1997. Of those patients, 40% had experienced serious complications, 22% had minor complications, and 60% needed some type of subsequent surgery. If you are experiencing complications after having a Lap Band surgery, you may want to speak to a lawyer to find out your legal rights and options. Hundreds of lawsuit cases against clinics that perform Lap-Band surgery have been presented all over the country after patients being misled or uninformed of the serious risk involved. The Los Angeles Times reported that 5 people have died due to Lap-Band related complications since 2009 in just Southern California alone.

I have had nothing but compications from my band. My band slipped and caused me not to be able to eat or drink. I had the fluid removed and the dr said to give it a few months and then I can get it filled again. i got it filled again and within a few months I had the same complications. I had the fluid removed and was told that I shouldn’t have any further problems. Then i started have the same complications again but this time started vomiting blood. I am working with my dr to see what the next steps are. At this point I just want the band out. How can I get in on the lawsuit?
My wife of 27 years had a lap band installed in 2007. By late 2011 she was becoming thinner and thinner. When she was at 140 she decided to have the band adjusted because she felt too thin. She was 5 feet 9 inches tall. After failing to gain weight she had the band adjusted a second time in 2012. She continued to lose weight and had the band adjusted a third time in March. Four months later, in July of 2013 she was so ill and under-nourished that she weighed 116 and was choughing up everything she tried to eat or drink. After nearly a week of being unable to eat anything without coughing it up, we took her to the hospital emergency room where they found her band had eroded through her stomach and into her diaphram and lung. She died after the surgery to remove the band. She had a massive infection and the surgeon said he found pus sacks on her heart sack. She was a registered nurse of over 30 years experience and died needlessly. She was a mother that left an 18 year old son without his best friend. We are devastated. I hope no one has the impression this procedure is without the ultimate risk of death. Did it work? Yes, she lost weight. She also lost her life.
So sorry to hear about yr loss… I had a allergen lap band , however I survived it eroding into my stomach, with alot of medical difficulties i cried when I read about yr wife n son n you
Jeff your story is so very sad…sorry about your loss. I just recently had my lap-band removed. It had eroded a hole in my stomach and I was full of infection. I am only 2 weeks out of surgery and on the mend. Hopefully I have no more complications. Something really needs to be done so that others do not have to suffer. Again…so very sorry for your loss! Roberta Walter…Culbertson Montana
Jeff, I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I too had a similiar issue. i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and the next day my lapband eroded through my esophagus and created a hole. I unerwent 5 surgeries to try and correct the whole. The doctors performed a surgery that had never been performed before in the US that ultimately saved my life. during my 1 1/2 month stay at the hospital i endured several drains to remove the infection that had been created. as well as nose tubes and breathing ventilators. My lung colapsed, i acquired a staff infection and a stage 3 ulcer during my stay. I also needed 4 blood transfusions due to low blood levels. when i was finally released i had a PIK line in my arm for antibiotics and feeding as i could not consume any food or liguids for approx 3 months. I WAS a healthy 35 year old woman and at one point down to 104 lbs because of what had happened . I missed out on the first two months of my baby because of my lap band!!! I would never recomend a lapband to any one. I am so sorry that your wife has lost her life because of a lapband!!
I had gallbladder surgery. First thing out of my mouth at the surgeons office is “I have a lap-band”. He assured me he had worked on many with a lap band. I had two sets of bloodwork clearing me for surgery. Three days after surgery I am running a fever. I spend the next two and a half weeks in and out of the ER and the surgeons office. No one does any testing to see what is causing my issues until my last ER visit and by then the CAT scan shows my band is in my stomach and I have a massive abdominal infection. I am told to get to my band doctor, I go to find out he is out of town, but I was cared for by another wonderful surgeon. I spent four and a half weeks in Medical City Dallas and two and a half weeks in Kindred Acute care. I spent five days getting iron infusions, blood transfusions, and major heavy duty antibiotics before the surgeon would risk surgery. I had a PICC line for six weeks, a wound vac for five weeks, I spent five days in ICU after surgery. I am not a small woman, 5’10” and I wear a size 11 shoe. When I finally was released to go home, I was so weak I had trouble just getting into my vehicle and climbing the steps into my home. I have an abdomen riddled with surgery scars, the worst one the open incision that went from below my breast bone to above my belly button. This is not what was represented to me when I went to get the lap band. I was also told there was a one percent failure rate. I came within a day or two of being too far gone to save. Anyone reading this, please, please, don’t get this band. I had no complications with my band, no unfills, no excessive issues with food sticking, no emergency returns to the ER or the band Dr’s office. This thing is a bad design and a bad place to try to implant something.
My husband went thru pretty much the same thing. The lapband errode his upper stomach and caused an abcess on his liver . He had to have it removed, pik line for feeding, etc. collapsed fung. He still has problem with low iron, having to have iron infusion therapy. Nausea, stomach still not right. Is there any legal grounds for the people that have suffered all of this pain mentally and physically that you are aware? If so could you provide him with this information.
I’ve been wondering what the legal grounds are myself. Did you find an answer to your question yet?
I too have had lap band erosion requiring removal, abdominal abscess, punctured lung, transfusions, long hospital stay, etc. Band inserted June 2010 and removed February 2011. To this date have serious complications. In past few years have been to several attorneys . They all said same thing– there is no case. Please advise if u were able to find someone to help you legally
MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE HOSPITIAL NOW AFTER ELEVEN DAY SHE IS STILL NOT ABLE TO EAT , STILL HAS A LOW GRADE FEVER WHILE ON FOUR DIFFERENT ANTIBOTICS , HAS FLUID ON HER LUNGS EVEN AFTER BEING DRAINED AFTER IT COLLASPED HER LEFT LUNG SEVEN DAYS AFTER SURGERY, NOW HAS AIR IN IT. HER LAPBAND ERRODED LEAKING FLUIDS INTO HER BODY. SHE HAD BEGGED FOR ANTIBOTICS AT HER DR.S BUT WAS REFUSED. SHE TOLD HIM THERE WAS MORE TO THIS THAN JUST AN ADJUSTMENT BUT HE REFUSED TO LISTEN. I AM ON MY WAY BACK TO MY DAUGHTERS BEDSIDE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER AND WILL LET U KNOE THE OUTCOME OF THIS .
last year my sister ( who has had the lap band for at least ten years) developed a red area on her stomach and abdominal cramps. She went to her PCP and he told her she was constipated. He gave her an antibiotic for the red area and medication for constipation and sent her home telling her to return in 4 days. On the 3rd day the red area was raised quite largely and still had abdominal pains. Her sons rushed her to the ER and they found that the lap band had eroded and punctured two holes into her stomach, she was septic and they did emergency surgery to remove the lap band and repair her stomach. They drained 17 liters of bile from her abdomen. She stayed in ICU for the longest time and also had PIC line, was on multiple IV antibiotics, she has lost the ability to have conversation, she may speak a word or two, once in awhile she will let out a sentence, but then nothing. she continues to have one health issue after another all of which require hospital stay, to nursing home where she was neglected, months later she was readmitted to ICU again being septic because of a kidney stone that was left untreated and missed from the last stay in the hospital when they did the abdominal ultrasound. Again septic. after her lengthy stay in hospital the placed her in a Nursing home and again neglected and developed a decubitis ulcer on her back side. The discharged her home with skilled nursing coming out and the skilled nursing neglected her decubitis ulcer which turned into a stage 4 when my brother in law took her back to the ER, she is now here in Florida from Georgia for wound care. Still unable to communicate and now on TPN for severe malnutrition. She has almost lost all ability to swallow..80%. The Doctors went to give her a feeding tube today into her stomach and found out there was severe scarring from the lap ban rupture they had to cancel the surgery and will attempt another procedure at a later date. Problem after problem due to this lap ban rupture. PLEASE….do yourself a favor and refuse this procedure….In the long run…it isn’t worth it.
I do not have the insurance that cover the lap band to be removed, it not do doing me any adjustment, only vomiting, stomach pain, and gaining back the weight. I try going to every doctor with no help
i had lap band it eroded it was removed along with a portion of my stomach more ulcerations more stomach removed more ulcerations more stomach removed . i now have no stomach my esophagus is attached to my small intestines. worst thing to ever hit the market and the doctors know it, but they are making millions off of them.
I have developed Barretts Mucosa (a precancerous condition of the esophogus) due to lap band. I had the band deflated when I found out I had breast cancer so I wouldn’t have to deal with the vomiting or “being stuck”. I need to have the band removed.
Reading these stories makes me realize that i am not alone. Back on March 7,2015 My husband became extremely ill. He was vomitting uncontrolably and in extreme pain. I Took him to the local hospital were we sat for several hours and nothing was done so I took him to the next bigger town were the hospital found numerous gallstones and admitted him to the hospital on the 8th . He continued with the vomitting thru the 9th. On the 8th a CT Scan was done. The Lap-band was in place but on the 9th because he was so ill he fell will in the shower at the hospital so they repeated the Scan on his band as well as his head, the band had slipped and part Of his stomach had went up through his band and was hanging out the other side. So the surgeon has to do emergency surgery that evening to try to save his stomach. He let him rest on the 10th but they had him in a coma. On the 11th the surgeon goes back to opérate a second time and he has to take My husbands gallbladder, the lapband after It had burst inside and the remaining part of what was left Of his stomach. My husband nearly lose his life because he bacame septic and had his left lung collape. It was a tramatic time For him, myself and our Children. Now our insurance refuses to pay any of the bills saying that its callled gastric bypass. They never did that. How do i get these crocks to pay up? My husband is lucky to be alive but i feel that the Lapband maker and the insurance company Should pay up!
I had the Lap Band installed three years ago because I had type 2 diabetes and hypertension. I also have a knee replacement that swells each day and two back surgeries. So my surgeon and myself felt the Lap Band would be a good alternative in helping me lose weight and in fact it was. I lost 70 pounds the first year. I no longer needed diabetes mess and only half the usual high blood pressure mess. My painful knees and back were relieved without carrying the extra weight. I felt wonderful. Then after the first year acid reflux began happening. And even with adjusting the band, it grew worse. Esophageal burn became so bad that by noon each day I coughed like I had pneumonia and was so hoarse I could barely speak. My crook of health insurance denied my surgeons suggestion of the band to be removed saying because it’s not on my list of procedures allowed…even though in buying this insurance they misled me to be covered. I was able to have my surgeon and two doctors write letters for an appeal to have the band removed. The denial was reversed yet even while my surgeons assistant was scheduling the removal surgery my health insurance was STILL trying to deny the procedure. This is when we threatened the health insurance with turning them into the healthcare commissioner. You CANNOT be condemned for ANY past or present ailments! It’s the new law. Appeal, Appeal, Appeal!!! I had the Lap Band removed a week ago and there was so much scar tissue I’m in so much post surgical pain. HOWEVER…it’s the first time in two years I haven’t had to take no less than 8 Tums every night just so I wouldn’t aspirate acid vomit. Good luck, and I’m so sorry for those who have suffered so much.
Last year I had to undergo emergency surgery for removal of my lap- band which had slipped down to the middle of my stomach, causing a large infected sis to grow, and causing damage to my spleen that had to be removed also. This also caused me to go into Congestive Heart Failure.
I had the band placed in 2009. It worked pretty good for the first year. After that, I kept getting sick after a fill. So the Dr decided to release my band completely September 2010. Told me to come back in a few months if I want to. Well, I never went back. I still had some complications through out the years. It still felt as if the band had some fill in it. I was on with that because it still was somewhat doing what I paid for it to do. To date now, 2 months ago I started having bad reflux. I have never in my life had reflux problems. So I called the Dr office and they had me do a swallow study. It showed severe reflux. Sigh… I already new that. Dr suggest I have the band removed, but set the surgery a month away. I went home upset because my reflux was so bad I couldn’t eat hardly anything. Chicken broth is all I can handle. At night it was like Mt Rushmore had erupted out my nose 2-3 times a night. It was horrible. I’m home now, post removal. I have such relief now. I have no problems with any food. No reflux! The Dr did an upper GI during my surgery and said everything looked great. I had a ton of scare tissue and the lap band had eroted. Boy am I glad this nightmare is over. Now I just need to rest and recover.
My insurance did pay for my surgery because it had been in me for over 5 years. Guess I got lucky. I’m so sorry for anyone who has to keep theirs in because insurance doesn’t cover it. I pray for some kind of comfort. I wouldywish this on my worst enemy.
It’s been a two year battle for me. I have been through 14 specialists and 5 surgeons. They all come to the same conclusion that my surgeon did something wrong when removing the band. Mine had eroded into my stomach. It had 2 perforated wholes and was neurcrotic. I was recently diagnosed with gastric perisis and had a surgery to hopefully stop the swelling nausea and pain. Because I now have esophogial stenosis and dysphasia I am not able to vomit. Just very long painful dryheves.
So here’s my question. I have looked for an attorney here in DFW but have not found one willing to take on my case. Any suggestions please.
Also. My stomach is so messed up now that I am considered a “special” case and none of the 5 surgeons I have been to will take it on.
I too have had problems. My first ban slipped but it took a yr of me n
Vomiting before the doctor ran a test and discovered that it slipped. They put a larger one in and it did not work I have gained most of my weight back. Now I am seeing a specialist and having numerous test run to see how bad my esophagus is and how much acid my stomach is producing. I do want to sue. I feel like I have been robbed. The amount of money I have spent is ridiculous.
I got the lap band in 2010 I m having trouble with the port it burns stings and fells like it pulling inside me .I have muscle spasums , in my side and back I can’t sleep at night! My side will pop out were the port is and turn spotty red!! I also spit up a lot !!!
I, too had the lapband placed in 2009. Three and a half years later I began to vomit everything I ate. I kept going back to the doctor and advised them, but they kept adding fluid to the band. Finally, after 2 years of that, they removed all the fluid which took care of that problem, but I began with the acid reflux and waking at nite with my nose gushing acid reflux. It has been another 9 months and I am finally scheduled to have the band removed, but now I am concerned after reading other’s comments about post surgery problems. When I asked my doctor about this, he said they have known for awhile that the band could cause problems like these.
I had my Lapband surgery over 10 years ago,I have been having lots of problem,I had to have my Gallbladder removed several months ago,I’ve had a lot of issues of Nasuea and vomiting,pain…….I have the max about of fluid in my band.i recently had a upper scope and was told that my Lapbamd neeeded to be remOved because its not working anymore and it’s the reason for all my stomacH issues,I’m disabled and on Medicaid ,so I dOnt KnOw if the surgeon will even see me and I don’t know what to do, I’m afraid that when and if I can get the Band removed I will gain all the weight back….. All theses years I never knew that the Doctors said the Lapband was not effective as they thought…..Where Do I Go From Here? Open For All Advice……. Thanks
I need help my lap band has ruined my life!! My Dr just did an endoscopy and said I need to have it out its ruining my stomach!! I also have a lap band in that was recalled
I projectile vomit daily!! I have burtning in to my throat gerd and my throat bleeds!! I need help I don’t know if my insurance will cover taking it out I’m in pain all the time and I’m scared Please help if you can lead me to help!!!!
basically same story as everyone else, 2 emergency surgery and bad infections from erosion of lap band, if there is a lawsuit I want to be included. Or if I need to do more somewhere else , Please let me know
I had an infection caused by the initial surgery. I kept calling True Results and telling them something was wrong. I had fluid leaking from the port incision and lots of pain. It took going to a wound care doctor 3 months after surgery for them to determine there was a deep infection and tunneling. They removed the entire lap band system. It’s almost a year later and I still have pain at the port site and lots of scar tissue. I don’t recommend anyone gets the lap band no matter how desperate they are. The removal surgery will cost approximately 35k.
How do I find a lawyer that will handle a malpractice case involving the Realize Lap Band? My friend is suffering with major health issues after her band eroded into her stomach.
I had the lapband in 2008. I lost weight and went from 335 to 195, however there was daily vomiting. I developed a rare cancer, adenocarcinoma of the small bowel at the base of my stomach and start of the small intestine. There are not enough statistics to know what causes this cancer, but it just seems like too much of a coincedence that it happened after the band was in place. I don’t smoke or drink and there is no history of this type of cancer in either sode of my very large family. I am wondering is there are other cases like mine out there.
erosion to my stomach from the band after 3 days they sent me home from hospital. I had 5 holes and they all had a bad infection that smelled so bad. I thought I was going to die.can I do anything about this.
I am just about to go crazy I don’t want to go back to the dr who put my band in and no other dr. will touch me. I need a lawyer quick. Please help
I just had my lap band removed after ten years. Even though it has been empty for the last seven, I have had difficulty swallowing. Very painful and often having to vomit. I was so uncomfortable when I ate that it put me in a bad mood.I worried about my esophagus being so sore and inflamed from the vomiting and food pushing so hard through it. I thought my band had slipped. I had an upper GI done followed by an endoscopy Both doctors said everything was fine. My doctor told my some people’s bodies just don’t like the band and to let him know if I wanted him to remove it. A year later and I had it removed. I’m having no problems with eating or swallowing. I ended up with six incisions instead of three (not sure why yet) and all of them are great except for one that is still very sore. It’s not the port one which everyone seems to say is the worst. Anyway, after reading all of these horror stories, I am so thankful I had it taken out before things got worse. My doctor said there is a 70% removal rate of the lap band today.
I had my Lap band put in back in 2003 I was around 400 pounds I lost down to around 160 but it wasn’t a good way…I could not eat I threw up everything I ate. I lived off of milkshakes and sweet tea until I had my gall bladder taken out and was in the hospital for 6 weeks for a simple gallbladder procedure. I was discharged from the gallbladder and sent straight to have all the fluid removed from my band. I am now at 200 pounds and steady but still through up have to be very careful of what I eat most things will not go down even with no fluid in my bad. I stay fatigued all the time no energy live off sweet tea. It is a horrible way to live. I stay sick catch every bug that comes around. There has to be help out there for us.
I’m not sure what the question is … There are likely more nutritional options out there than sweet tea and milkshakes to edify your compromised immune system, yes. I sounds like you’ve had a terrible time since your two procedures. If concerned about medical malpractice, please obtain all medical records and seek advice of a medical malpractice attorney. Good luck!
I had a slip and fall accident at work in which when I fell I hut my life side of my abdominal area where my lapband and port were located on the corner of a supply cart. Since the. I have gone to the doc and ended up having the lapband removed in March 2016 due to cardiovascular constriction of the stomach and vomiting with nauseas and inability to eat much of anything. Well since then the healing process has been rough. There are a lot of foods I can tolerate and also I developed a Seroma where the port was removed from. The Seroma has been aspirated twice but I continue to have a lot of pain and discomfort in the port site area and experiencince a lot of abdominal spasms and cramping that are very painful. Has anyone experienced this? I am 5 months post op of having my lapband removed. I am miserable and it has truly affected my daily life. Totally frustrated. And now waiting to have another ultrasound to see what’s going on ;(
Sincerely,
Christine
I had a lap band placed 2011? lost minimal weight first few months. Then able to eat normally again. They said I needed an adjustment. I had several adjustments with no change. Finally had last adjustment under fluoroscopy. They said we can not adjust any further. I was maxed. Any more could cause problems. I was called time to time by the company for adjustments. I told them I was maxed under x-ray. Late 2014, I started having abdominal and back pain. Spring of 2015, I saw another Dr. for my problem. I told him I wanted it removed. Test (upper GI) performed, no erosion spotted. Possible gall bladder. Dr. said could have erosion and should remove gallbladder while removing lap band. Oct 2015, both procedures performed. Told band caused an erosion in my stomach. It was repaired. Lap band placed by Dr. Group in L.A., bill board advertising. I heard they had lots of lawsuits. Questions:
Do I have a case?
What is involved?
What are your fees?
How long will this take?
Just like everyone else I too have a horror story about the lapband. I had the lapband for seven years. For the last year I had it there was no restriction and i was still having food get stuck with vomiting all the time. I had the lapband removed on August 1, 2016. I was still having the same issues. Doctor had me go to gastroentorologis. I ended up having two esophageal dilations with no change to the damaged area. In order to fix the damage from the lapband I had to have the gastric bypass surgery. I had that surgery on December 12,2016. The doctor who removed the band and did bypass surgery sent the damaged area of my stomach off to be checked out. The results of that said that area of my stomach was damaged to the point to where it wouldn’t ever have stretched back out. I want to go against the lapband manufacturer which was Allergen. Yes, I signed consent forms at time of original lapband surgery for possible side affects but killing part of my stomach was NOT one of the side affects. I never wanted to have the gastric bypass surgery and in the end it was the only way to have relief from vomiting all the time and food getting stuck. I need to know if I have a case in this matter. Please let me know if you can help me asap. Thank you for your time.
Help I think my lap band has slipped I have gain 100pounds in 6 months my weigh was 120 . I got my band 13 years ago . So has it slipped. Please help.
