I am about 2 1/2 weeks post op and have developed a port site infection. DR. says if it doesn't get better with antibiodicts they will have to remove the band. Anyone have this problem????

I have never heard of this. Good luck to you

I don't have this problem but I hope the infection heals!

Get lots of rest, take your antibiotics and drink lots of fluids.

I hope it is a localized infection and not the band, that would really suck. Keep posting your progress..

Good luck.

Hi, I just had my port removed after an infection, but mine came ONE YEAR after surgery! It was very serious and out of the blue The infection was limited to the port site, so they disconnected it from the band and left the band around my stomach (for later reattachment to the port, if I want to).

I really hope yours resolves okay! Good luck!
