ccarter8219 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Hello, my name is Crystal. I am 37 (almost 38) years old. I had my lap band on 06/09/08. I am curious as to whether or not anyone else has had an inflammatory respons to their band? I had one shortly after surgery, and thought I was going to die. It felt like an elephant sitting on my chest and radiation up to my neck. Luckly my surgeon is very accessible and saw me right away. I had to be placed back in the hospital of steroids, fluids, and potassium. It took a couple of days but it got much better. 225/199.5/140 :thumbs_down: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
