Well if you are talking about the larger incision then yes I have. This incision got an infection, took antibiotics for 2 weeks and it is healing nicely.

No complications, but it was weird. It filled with Fluid, since the absence of the port kinda leaves a hole where it used to be.

Did you have to have it drained or anything?

i HAD LAP BAND SURGERY, and a year later the surgeon went in to replace it (i think it was too small). Well he cut my stomach open and what was suppose to be a 45 minute procedure turned into a 6 1/2 hour surgery. I almost died. I recovered but no lap band. I was self pay, so that $$$$$ flew out the window. I have been thinking about the sleeve. Would anybody recommend it?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
