My husband got peritonitis from the lap band surgery. Bacteria (staph) entered through the incision sight . He was in excrutiating pain and complained many times and even had visits to doctor, They decided to assume it was his gall bladder. The infection burst and they had to rush him into surgery to clean out infection and remove band. Later that day fever and pain returned and he was back in OR to get pockets of infection they missed first time. It has been a week and I don't know when he is getting out of hospital. Hopefully he will recover fully as they expect but he still has fever and I'm not sure what's going on. He could very easily have died.
