This happen to my daughter when she had her second child by c-section. She was awake, but her anesthesiologist caught it and put her out. I awoke during a colonoscopy. It does happen. She did have nightmares for a while. It will pass with time, but you don't forget the horror. You should talk to a professional to help you through it. And there is always time later to talk to an attorney, but get help for yourself now.

My daughter, myself, sister and neice all went to Mexico to have the band surgery. We all did fine through the surgery, but my daughter had so much more pain than the rest of us. She even said to me "she thought she was bleeding internally" We had surgery on Monday and stayed in the hospital until Wednesday and flew home that afternoon. She still felt really bad. Friday she called me. She was in terrible pain and was trying to get to her family doctor. I told her to go straight to the ER. She did and they found that she had a 8 ounce blood clot in her abdomen. They started her on antibioticsand watched her for four days. They did emergency surgery on her Tuesday nite. She made her doctor promise not to remove the band. When he got in there the infection was horrendous. Her colon was turning black and he almost removed it then and there. But a little voice told him to give her a chance. But the band came out. To shorten my story and answer part of your question. She was in intensive care for 8 days fighting for her life. And in the hospital for 28 days. Her insurance did cover it. The rest of us are fine and losing weight. My daughter is happy and thankful to be alive, but does wish to have the band put back on.

Thanks for such a quick reply. Melody

I was banded in Tijana, Mexico with my daughter, sister-in-law and my neice on January 9,2006. I have lost 38 pounds. It is a long story and I won't talk about it now, maybe later. I have had some problems with the slime. But after reading on the website, I am not sure what PB is. Some days are great and some are really bad, but I am happy for what I have lost so far.
