hello all... i got banded 11/18/11. i was on preop liquid diet for 2wks and to this date i have lost 17lbs. i started off at 253lbs. i had staples put in my incisions and that didnt go to well. i developed an infection to nickel and red Patches formed around the incisions. of course i was confused thinking it was an infection because the skin had yellow discharge and was red. staples were removed and steristrips were put on and i still see drainage smearing on strips. i aint happy with that result. i will continue monitoring incisional sites becauae i have a gut feeling its gonna be an infection. has anyone else experienced this?
