Thank you very much.

You are in my prayers. I am going threw simular situtation. Not quite the same. But I feel your frustration. I am 10 days post op. I had my lap band surgery on 05/22/2010. Just 5 days after surgery I started having fever and alot of pain and swelling and redness at the insision where the port went. After 2 trips to Urgent care and 1 trip to ER I was dx with a seroma with possible infection. I had it drained out and everyday since last Thursday have had to haave the packing changed. I am doing good on the weightloss aspect of things and that keeps me going. However, I am worried that I am facing more surgery. I had my surgery in Mexico and I live in California, so its not so easy to get the follow up care that I need. I am frustrated about that. I am going to see my lap band dr in mexico in 2 weeks and hoping and praying for good news. So I need prayers as well please. Let's pray for eachother. I am here for ya anytime you need to chat. It's difficult and frustrating going threw uncertin medical issues. Keep your head up, and remember that life is good and that this will pass eventually.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Bamagirl64. I have my surgery 3 days ago. I am super sore and have had slight fever on and off. Is this normal? Did you have any fever after your surgery. I had my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Rod as well. He was great ! His staff were friendly and really caring. I had great expierence while I was there. I am just a bit worried about the fever going up and down. I was told I need to get my first fill in 4-6 weeks. It sounds a bit extream to me that a Dr wants to fill that much. However, that is an American Dr for ya. They are a bit extream in my opion. That is why I have not went to the ER for my fever yet. I do not want to risk them wanting to take my band out. I hope all works out of you.

Hi Mary. I like reading your posts. I am considering getting the surgery. can you give me any advice ?

Hi my name is Andrea. I am considering having the Lap- Band surgery through BeLite in TJ Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. I have not been able to speak with any of the refferals I was given. I really want to get this surgery. Mexico is a good choice for me, for many reasons.However I really need to hear from someone who has been to INT Hospital or know of Dr. Rodriguez. I would really appreciate any kind of feed back.

Thank you
