Hi all-

 

I am 6 days post op and I have had to go and see my surgeon to get antibiotics because my incision is draining and oozing. I am in severe pain in the area.

 

I keep reading about horror stories with the lap band now after I got the band. For some reason the only stories I came across before surgery were all success stories.

 

I am terrified that there is something wrong because I mean I feel just as bad today as I did the day I got the band. My dr says that I should be ok but he could not give me a 100% guarantee which is understandable. I just keep thinking now that maybe I made a mistake.

 

Someone please help me I am an emotional wreck....all I do is cry all day long. :eek:

Don't be too stressed that is not good for you, do as the Dr. Says and it will probably straighten out. There are always a few complications tho minor with most surgeries. I had red incisions and used the antibiotic cream, then I had itching and a rash, then I had to have an unfill, but after losing 82 lbs I would endure this all over again. God Bless you and I am praying for you to be well and get on with life after the band.

It will all get better. Once you get all this straightened out you will be glad. Right after my surgery I thought What have I done, but now I would do it a million times over. I have had my band for 7 months now and have lost 65 lbs since I got the band and 92 lbs since starting the program. It's very emotional when you are just a few days out from surgery but it does get better.
