LAP BAND REMOVAL
LAP BAND REMOVAL
Dr. Chaudhry does not recommend placement of the lap band for weight loss. The procedure is associated with many complications, such as band slippage, erosion, chronic abdominal pain, and severe nausea/vomiting and reflux. Dr. Chaudhry has removed many gastric bands due to these complications. If you feel you have any adverse reaction to the gastric band, even if it was placed many years ago, it may need to be treated with removal of the band.

-
Band slippage
-

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

"I had surgery on July 11th, 2016 by Dr. Chaudhry. I have lost 120.5 pounds. I knew I needed to take control of my life. I fretted over making the first appointment to see Dr. Chaudhry. He was amazing. He was very detailed in explaining my options and truly made me feel comfortable.
​
For once a doctor was supportive of helping me be successful, not judging me as if I had made bad life choices. He recommended the Gastric Sleeve. I wish I would have had surgery sooner. I feel better than I did in my twenties. I had let life get the best of me.
​
Food had become my comfort and then my excuse. When I saw Dr. Chaudhry I weighed 274 pounds. I am now 154 pounds almost 10 months post op. I am off all of my other medications other than an occasional headache. I am enjoying things that I either physically couldn’t do or I was embarrassed.
​
My outside now matches my inside. I am proud of who I am. I am proud of what I have become. I appreciate what Dr. Chaudhry has done for me."
