Infections and Needed Surgery for Eroded Lap Band

After having lap-band surgery last October, having a port infection for the past 9 plus months, being sick with infection after infection for the past 9 plus months, being in the hospital and nursing home because of the infection,  having puss drained through a needle in my abdomen last month, a gauze packing removed from my port site.....finally, my wound healed!!!  If I didn't seek help from the Wound Clinic at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield, I more than likely would still have the infection.  Now I have an eroded lap band and have to have surgery to have it removed.  I lost over 65 lbs.  I hate the thought of gaining it all back. 

I urge anyone having similar infections that won't clear up to go to a wound clinic.  They can help tremendously.  In my case, it was a gauze packing inside my wound that caused my infections.
