I have had my lap band for two years and over that time i have had on and off tenderness at the port site. However over the past week the port site ha become so sore i went to the emergency ward at the hospital and was told i have "spontaneous cellulitis" and have ben put on a iv of cefriaxone 3g for three days untill i can get to see my surgeon. I have not had a fill for a few months so the dr can not find a reason as to why i have gained an infection. I have burning to the site and pain when i move. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so what was the outcome? i am a little concerned that if i need it removed or replaced that i may need to fork out another **** load of money grrrr!!!! And that once again i will be going under the knife for surgery!!!
