The infection has cleared, the VNA is no longer needed to pack the site I am on the mends! I can't believe I have had this thing lingering for 4 1/2 months Now I just need to keep the weight at bay until the port site can be accessed. Oh Dear with the holdays coming and all it will be a chalange

Finally feeling better dispite a cold.. The infection is clearing up after a week of nastiness. Doc won't go near the port for few months to be sure all is healed I wonder if this had been brewing for 5 months? As long as it does't come back and I can keep my band...

Saw the Surgeon today pain swelling and strange looking lump near the port. CT Scan revealed a seroma a large pocket of nasty fluid It felt a little better after they drained in but that was short lived, swollen up again but I am on antibiotics for 10 days hope it clears up and this is not due to erosion of the band The Jurys still out on that they will know more when the cultures come back. Hope the band isn't the culprit

So afraid they will have to remove the band but this is not right! Can't see the MD until Monday I think they are all at a Band conference no one is around, But by today the site looks red and swollen no fever of anyhing but pain is there all the time

5 months post op and having a lot of pain arond the port site. Cscan and swallow negative, I got a fill and the pain continues hope it will be ok and I don't have to have the band removed Lost 60# so far 40 to go
