EBS

I am having the same problem. I have had a swelling in the same area to the left of the band. Mine has appeared about a few weeks ago with I had my band filled. The skin to the left of the band is swollen. I have been on antibiotics for a wk and still no change. I do not feel that this is an infection but it has been painful when I sit, bend or move. It almost feel as if something is poking me. I am going to see the Doctor on Friday of this week. They are suppose to do a scoping to the stomach to make sure everything is ok. I am eating and drinking ok with no acid refulx. To me looking into the stomach is strange when the problem is to the left of the band underneath the left breast. Please let me know more of your symptoms. My pants always seem to rub this area and it is uncomfortable. I have to always unzip my pants and button at the top of my pants. :help:

I AM APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS OUT FROM HAVING LAP BAND SURGERY. I HAVE BEEN TAKING ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS. THE DOCTOR STATES I HAVE AN INFECTION UNDER THE LEFT BREAST TO THE LEFT OF THE BAND. HE STATES THAT IT IS IN THE FATTY TISSUE NEXT TO THE BAND. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PAIN STILL PERSISTS AND THE SWELLING IS STILL THERE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH EATING OR DRINKING OR WITH REFLUX. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT I WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. I AM SEEING THE DOCTOR AGAIN THIS FRIDAY IN MEXICO. HE IS GOING TO SCOPE MY STOMACH. I THINK THIS IS WEIRD SINCE THE PROBLEM IS TO THE LEFT OF THE BAND AND NOT IN THE STOMACH. HAS ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE... GREATLY APPRECIATED!:help:
