my daughter had lap band surgery on Dec 9 2010 she stayed overnight at the hospital and came home. The home health nurse found a high heart rate and on Dec 11, the band was totally removed. The medical pictures show an image of...everwhere the band lay had a severe infection...like a caustic burn. The surgeon has never seen anything like this before and neither has any of her collegues.. My daughter was in the hospital until Jan 19, 1011. She still has issures but is home. She was not nicked or anything during the surgery...the band did burn her. She had a foley for a month and sitll has drains in her. It is not an allergic reaction and not rejections...if anyone has any info please email me at mila-long@hotmail.com. Thank you.
