    Hello banders! It's being a nightmare with my band.four month ago everything was fine until I woke up one morning and I feld my port sticking out!!! I called my surgeon and got to the hospital and yeap! The stitches that were holding the port in place come off! The same day I went under General and had it fix.3 weeks wend by and I started to notice that the area around the wound was getting red and here we go again calling the Dr!!!!! . Got to the doctors office and he said that I had a very bad infected area were the port is located and that my body was rejecting the port .. The same day went under again and had my port Removed. My doctor told me that I needed to wait 6 month to have a port Replaced. A week later my. Wound started to turnd red again and had Higth temperature.went to the Doctor and had a Endoscopy done to see if the band was fine,But nop it was not. I was very nervous because he said my band is completely Eroded in to my stomach and has of now I'm waiting for an appointment to have the band Remove. My dr told me that 89% of the bands have to be Remove in some point.now I'm Home with a 27 millimeters size open wound that it can not be stitch back because of the infected Area of the port. I have to be cleaning the wound 3 times a day to prevent more infection. It is just not fun at all. I'm taking 2 thousand milligrams of antibiotics per day until surgery day. Please I need support .
