    Infection? Numbness?

    My son had LB surgery nearly 3 months ago - never was pain-free - and was diagnosed with erosion. The port and band were removed 2 weeks ago, yet he still seems to have an infection (the surgery was critical and his abdominal cavity was filled with pus). His follow-up care is less than desirable, and I am freaking out. What does this mean, and how does one switch doctors mid-treatment? I am very concerned as he does not seem to be improving. Elleng

    Arizona lap-band surgeons

    I'm curious as well. I did have a LB placed by Dr. Blackstone on 8/31. I was very impressed with her and her office (with one exception). Scottsdale Bariatric is a "Center for Excellence" and she has performed more than 400 LapBands. I even have to drive about 120 mile to see her, since I live in Tucson. Evidently, there are plenty of people out there who feel the same - in my pre and post op classes - there were people from NM, CA etc. Anyway, it is a done deal now, and I am happy with the results so far. I had the surgery as an out-patient, and stayed in a nearby hotel (and had a very good night's sleep - as opposed to staying in the hospital). I don't know the other doctors and can't speak to where they are relative to Robin Blackstone. Did you have your surgery yet? If so, how did it go? elleng
