I am so bummed out. 2 years of educating and preparing my self went up in smoke. Lap band was placed 11/12/14, by Christopher Reilly at West Houston Medical Center. Felt great, no complaints, first real issues with pain started on Saturday after regional anesthetic wore off.

Experienced an episode of dry heaving, and what I've read that sounded like a stuck episode , after coughing on juice. Things started going down hill. Started with fever and chills Tuesday evening. Called the Surgeons office and was instructed to go to ER. Blood work revealed sepsis. WBC'S 21,000, Fever 103, heart rate 140's, severe diffuse abdominal pain and distention. CT scan didn't give any definitive explanation, so Dr. Reilly took me back to the OR to perform EGD and exploratory lap. He found purulent drainage and exudate involving fundus and band. Lap Band system removed due to " Infection of Lap Band"....

Ohhhhh so glad to hear. I was worried about ya!

So glad to hear your getting better!!!!!!!!! What an awful scare, for you and your family!!!!!!
