  1. I had Lap Band Surgery in Aug. 2007, it took 3 fills to FINALLY get any results. After my last fill, I began vomiting frequently and had epigastric pain. On New Years Day 2008, I had the most excrutiating pain of my life starting in the middle of my chest extending down my left arm and back. I immediately contacted my Surgeon who informed me this was just related to somethng I ate. The pain did subside some with pain medication. The next day, the pain continued despite the fact I didn't eat anything. I went to the ER, an abdominal CT Scan was done which showed fluid collection. The next day I had my band removed due to infection. My Surgeon said I had a horrible infection related to the band. I still have questions I hope someone can help me with. I never had a fever or a change in my white count and the cultures were negative. My Surgeon said the fluid inside of me was lime green. Does anyone have any feedback for me, has anyone experiene a similiar situation??? If so, did you have any further weight loss surgeries. THKS.
