Post Op 3 months and band leaked!

Hi. I am so frustrated. I was banded on 6/11/10, received 2 fills and had pink/clear saline coming out of a small hole in my incision site. First time it happened I needed 4 paper towels to absorb the fluid! no lie! Went to the Drs and was told that they needed to go in and look. On Friday (10/15) went in for surgery and they replaced the port. Apparently some REALIZE bands were recalled and I was one of them! The re-incision site is now warm to touch, swollen and very firm. I am just going to watch it closely and call the doc if anything major happens. Anyone hear of this? Thanks.......

Personally, I think you should call your doctor asap about the incision being warm and swollen. If it's getting infected, better to treat sooner than later.

Yes, I've heard of the recall. Sorry you were one affected.
