I've had nothing but complications....I'm disappointed. I had my lapband surgery in Sept 09. I went for my first fill and the dr couldn't access my port. I had an xray and per the dr the post had flipped. He scheduled me for surgery in Dec.19th 09 to replace post...surgery EVERYTHING went well so I thought....went for a fill and the dr couldn't access the port again...went for xray ..had to had surgery again..but before my surgery I notice a knot(that was getting bigger by the day) . I visited the dr he stated it was fatty tissue and when I have surgery on Friday he would remove it......Surgery day I woke up without a port and Septecimia(blood posion), a Drain bag and 5 days in the hospital.....I should have stop and had him remove the unit but on 4/1 I had surgery again he replaced the port. But I'm afraid... I think I want it out.....DO ANYBODY KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THROUGH THIS....PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN..ANYTHING...ADVICE , ENCOURAGING WORDS....ALL I hve from this lapband is 4 surgerys,blood poison, depression,bills and 15lbs heavier.....what do you all think? Thank you Anita :thumbup:
