Re-occurring Infection Under Port Scar????

[striver 0]

Hi all,

Just wondering if andybody had the same problem after banding as me?

I was banded Feb 18th, 2008.

At first fill appointment (fill was very difficult and painful) 2 or 3 days after that I experienced a severe reddening around the port scar incision. It was extremely painful Went off to the doctor who performed my banding and was informed that I had an infection which was treated by 2 courses of anti-biotic

It went away and now 3 months later has come back again. The doctor has ordered blood cultures to see if anything grows and I am now on 2 courses of anti biotic.

I asked teh doctor when I finished the course of anti biotic would be sure that it would nto re occurr and he said he didnt know - it could come back again???

I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience of re-occurring Infection Under Port Scar at all?

My doctor says it is not common at all?

regards
