Lapband revision, infection, Lapband removal.

[Erin18 133]

As some you know, my Lapband slipped. On Friday April 19 was my revision surgery. I go home thinking I'll just better over. Stayed home for a night checking my temp every so often. I had a fever just about every time I checked.I go to my hospital on Sunday morning, they found an infection so I left my hospital via ambulance and when I get to the hospital where I had my surgery, took a cat scan and it showed up on that so I went into surgery ): I had a serious infection and absess? It was so bad one of the best things for him to do was to take my band out. So I have been here since Sunday. My fever is slowly going down, my heart rate is still a little high, took the fully tube out (the one for your bladder, and got the tube that was Hooked up to my stomach.got plugged today. I am getting closer and closer to getting out of here, this just sucks ):

Thinking that I could have died scared me so bad, did I mention that my heart rate was up in the 140s/150s when I got here on Sunday and a 104 fever? My heart rate now is in the 90s and my temp is 97.7 I believe , I might be able to go go home tomorrow, I hope I don't get an infection like this again and live a full happy life with out a troublesome band ruining everything. My mom thinks for the infection to be as bad as they said it was then it must have been there for awhile?
