Hello my white blood cell count was elevated too,but i was able to proceed with the surgery because I didn't have fever. My Dr just told me to follow up with another blood test in 3 months.

Hi Nicole we were banded the same day. I have the same issues with gas pain and walking really has helped out. I also take one or two minute breaks between sips which has helped prevent the sharp gas pains. Keep up with your pain meds to help with the muscle soreness and incision pain. Hope you feel better soon. Kyra

Sorry to hear that and thanks for the quick reply. May I ask how the erosion was treated and if you were able to keep your band?

Hello everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery on 7-30-10 and I'm nervous but excited about starting my journey. I have taken the 6 month bariatric prep classes so I understand the risks involved. My main concern is erosion, does anyone know what the odds of this happening are? What causes it? How I can prevent it? Should I be overly concerned about it? Your feed back would be appreciated. Thanks :biggrin:

Hello, I am so sorry to hear about your pain and discomfort. Are going to be ok? Can you please elaborate on what you mean by the surgeon killed you? Hope all is well, hang in there, Kob
