LAP-BAND Complications... I popped 3 stitches around my port!!?
Okay so I had lap-band may 11. I went in for my 1st fill monday. I found out some how I managed to pop 3 of the 4 stitches holding my port in place. Now I have to go through a surgery to sew my port back down monday... Has this happened to anyone? What type of anestesia should I do? It is a 20 min surgery. I am not thrilled. Kinda bummed... Any advice or help?
Answers:
I've never had this happen, but I would think general anestesia would be fine. You might want to ask your doctor to make sure the stitches are secure. Make sure you keep your wonds clean as well.
