  1. Post Op 3 months and band leaked!

    MELVING posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi. I am so frustrated. I was banded on 6/11/10, received 2 fills and had pink/clear saline coming out of a small hole in my incision site. First time it happened I needed 4 paper towels to absorb the fluid! no lie! Went to the Drs and was told that they needed to go in and look. On Friday (10/15) went in for surgery and they replaced the port. Apparently some REALIZE bands were recalled and I was one of them! The re-incision site is now warm to touch, swollen and very firm. I am just going to watch it closely and call the doc if anything major happens. Anyone hear of this? Thanks....... Melissa - Manalapan, NJ :thumbup:

    Hello. I am postop day 3 and feel some generalized anxiety (which I suffer from a bit anyway) at not being able to eat. I'm just having lots of negative thoughts...can anyone relate? Thanks Melissa, NJ
