I have had my band for a year and have realized that it is very sensitive. I went in for a biopsy Thursday and everything seemed okay. My band got extremely tight Sunday night and by Monday I had fever, chills, bleeding, cramping, cough, and reflux. I will be contacting my doctor in the morning but what is everyones experience. If I go on liquids until I am over this will the band settle down or should I go get some removed?

I would go on liquids, and contact your surgeon. You might need to have sonme removed depending on what you are biopsed for. Good luck. Karen

My doctor put me on antibiotics which I can't get down. My band surgeon is in Fort Worth and there is no way I can fly now. I think the infection just has my band tight and my stomache irritated. The biopsy was endometrial but I have an infection now.... just my luck!!! I am going to have to find a something to open and pour this bitter capsule in.
