denise37 0 Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) hi, my name is Denise, i had my band on 12th sept 08, i had it at birmingham heartlands hospital and i was in over night, lapiscopically 6 small incisions, and they have healed well .. one however has bled a little. i have all praise for my surgeon and his team and the hospital itself i was very impressed with it all. i am just hoping now the weight will drop off. i was already attending a slimming club and had lost 5st 9lb b4 the op and have lost 13lb since the op so all good and i would recomend it to anyone,. you here good and bad stories but everyone is different,. but im pleased(as yet) that i have had it done.x.

denise37 0 Posted October 5, 2008 hi thanks for ur replys. i went to my gp and my nurse told me to leave it open to let the air get to it which i did, but last night it started to really bleed so ended up at a and e where the dr they said it needed evacuating, i didnt have any infection but a build up of the blood had gathered and he squoze it all out all bad blood and including some clots, so glad i went and he said it was a good job i did go as it would have turned to an abscess if i hadnt gone and had it removed so good job it had started to bleed . i got to go back to my gp on monday now so he can look at it. so take notice peeps any problems go to hospital as can need looking at.. thanks.denise:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
