I am 2 wks out of LapBand and noticed a funky smell coming from my stomach. When I took off the steri-strips, I noticed a hole where my incision didn't finish closing. It had pus and drainage around it, along with some redness/swelling! I am now on my way to pick up anti-biotics and have to see the doctor on Monday! Anyone else experience this and how long does this take to heal?:wink2:

I am also 5 days post op and I feel a pressure in my chest most of the time. I was told that its probably just swelling from the surgery. My strips itch too, just means they are healing. I have been eating yogurt, applesauce, jello and sugar-free pudding since 48hrs post-op and am doing fine with those. I get mashed potatoes and creamy soups in 2 days.
