I was banded on November 17, 2009. The day after surgery I got a huge bruise on my stomach, the Dr. told me that the body would absorb it, well it didn't. About 10 days after surgery the blood from the hematoma started comming out thru one of my cuts, from the one where the fill port is. I have been having a Home Health nurse come everyday and pack my wound, it needed to stay open so all the blood would come out. The packing started Dec. 11 and is still going on. It has been about 10 weeks since I was banded and I have yet to have a fill Dr. wants to wait until. I have managed to lose 40 pounds so far, sometimes I feel that I don't eat cause I'm scared. Has anybody experinced anything like this? I guess I just want to vent.
