Had the lap band 9/4, caught a bacteria infection 9/6, no fever or pain, just that I could see the infection speeding and was red and swollen. Hospitalized 5 days later to be put on antibiotics, everything is now cleared up. I'm good to go, got 5ccs filled in today.

The "it feels like I've done nothing but sit ups for eight years straight" feeling whenever I got up from sitting or laying down. O.O

I wanted a crane to get me out of bed! I really had no gas. So sorry for all the infection stories was it the port that was infected? I tweaked my port today I had to lift something on the side of the road. I shouldn't have. I tell people I can't even feel the band its the port that hurts!

Yes, caught a bacteria infection at the port site but under the skin so there was nothing I could do. I got my 1st fill today and realized there was still some drainage but the dr said that will dry up on it's own.
