I ended up with 3 holes in my stomach . Apparently atleast one was put in my stomach during the first procedure. Was very sick and went back for them to adjsut my band within a couple days, because they said it must have slipped off. Did not do any good so i went back the same week to have it removed and in that process I ended up with 2 more holes. They did sew one up while I was In mexico, told the doctors in Cali. that I must just have a stomach virus, sent me oin my way, and after many test and scans they had found 2 other holes and had to remove part of my stomach and I also had some ribs removed because of infection in them. I stayed open for almost 10 months because of continious infection in my body.. It was horrible, I really do recommend doing the procedure in the U.S. It might cost you more but it is well worth it. Many people and doctors told me they pretty much left me to die. Or rather expected me to die.
