sorry... omg was cos i sort of knew this guy... long story there. nvm.
anyway, it wasn't a allergic complication. he had his 1st lap band in march, then had to have it removed 3 days later cos the position of the band had slipped. then early july, he underwent the same procedure agian, this time, cos there was scarring from the last lap band, they had to do a a bigger cut to do the lap band. cos of the amt of scarring in the abdomen, surgery usually more difficult so cant do with laparascopic. think after the 2nd op, he had excessive bleeding and died of complications related to the bleeding. so sad....
see.. we shld all just be happy with the bodies we have. then again, his weight was really a threat to his health, so i guess he didn't have a choice but to do the lap band. all fate i guess.
