my husband had lap band last year. He is suffering from severe abdominal pain. Says he feels like hes been punched in the stomach. He feels very bloated. This has been going on for about 8 hours now. A lot of pain. Doesnt want to eat or drink as he says it feels worse.  Are these signs of complications?  What can we do to get him some relief?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Laparoscopic - Lap band has been stopped in many of the institutes due to severe complication rates. The problem of abdominal pain and stomach bloating is due to band unless proved otherwise. Consult the operating surgeon, get admitted, to get a proper treatment, He may need a removal as soon as possible
