  1. I am having the same problem. I have had a swelling in the same area to the left of the band. Mine has appeared about a few weeks ago with I had my band filled. The skin to the left of the band is swollen. I have been on antibiotics for a wk and still no change. I do not feel that this is an infection but it has been painful when I sit, bend or move. It almost feel as if something is poking me. I am going to see the Doctor on Friday of this week. They are suppose to do a scoping to the stomach to make sure everything is ok. I am eating and drinking ok with no acid refulx. To me looking into the stomach is strange when the problem is to the left of the band underneath the left breast. Please let me know more of your symptoms. My pants always seem to rub this area and it is uncomfortable. I have to always unzip my pants and button at the top of my pants. :help:
  2. I AM APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS OUT FROM HAVING LAP BAND SURGERY. I HAVE BEEN TAKING ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS. THE DOCTOR STATES I HAVE AN INFECTION UNDER THE LEFT BREAST TO THE LEFT OF THE BAND. HE STATES THAT IT IS IN THE FATTY TISSUE NEXT TO THE BAND. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PAIN STILL PERSISTS AND THE SWELLING IS STILL THERE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH EATING OR DRINKING OR WITH REFLUX. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT I WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. I AM SEEING THE DOCTOR AGAIN THIS FRIDAY IN MEXICO. HE IS GOING TO SCOPE MY STOMACH. I THINK THIS IS WEIRD SINCE THE PROBLEM IS TO THE LEFT OF THE BAND AND NOT IN THE STOMACH. HAS ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE... GREATLY APPRECIATED!:help:

    Wondering about Mexico

    I USED DR. OMAR DIAZ IN TJ - HE IS A GENERAL SURGEON. HE HAS A TEAM OF GASTRO DOCTORS, ALONG WITH HIM TO DO MY PROCEDURE. LOOK AT THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS WWW.OBESITYGOODBYE.COM. IT HAS BEEN SEVEN WEEKS SINCE MY SURGERY AND I HAVE LOST 23 POUNDS. I AM DOING GREAT. IF YOU WANT MORE INFO, YOU CAN E-MAIL ME @ KANCELET@HOTMAIL.COM. THE WEBSITE GIVES YOU THE DOCTORS CURICULUM VITEAU. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED. I WENT TO A PRIVATE SURGICAL FACILITY INSTEAD OF THE HOSPITALS. IT WAS GREAT, NICE AND QUITE AND REALLY CLEAN. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH FOR A GOOD DOCTOR.

    Tj Doctors Are Great. Depending On A Good Referral. I Live In Yuma, Az And I Had A Doctor Referral. The Doctor Here Had A Nephew, Who Was General Surgreon In Tj. He Gave Me A Good Referral To Him. I Am 7wks Out And Have Had Some Generalized Problems That They Have Been Able To Fix. I Am So Far Very Pleased. You Need Someone Who Will Address Your Needs And Give Good Support. Just Like In The Us, You Can Have Some Really Good Doctors And Not So Good Doctors. I Have Lost 23 Pounds To Date. Good Luck In Your Provider Hunt.
