I had surgery of Feburary 1, 2016. During the first week i noticed my belly button had heavy narcotic tissue on it. The doctor order a cream to help with healing and at 2 weeks the narcotic tissue fell off in the dressing. Since then i have noticed my belly button nothhealing and a yellow and pink color inside it. There is yellow drainage on the dressing when i remove them 1x a day. I clean it with alcohol and continue to use the Fitoestimulina cream on the belly button. Should i be worried?

We use general anesthesia performed by board-certified anesthesiologists in an AAAHC accredited operating room. General anesthesia allows for relaxation of the abdomen, so that it can be tightened fully during the "muscle repair."
I am so sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results. It sounds as if you need a revision. Talk with one of the two doctors that you saw for your consult about what to expect since they've seen you in person and know your case intimately. My best,

Yes you can. The high lateral tension technique or any abdominoplasty is possible with a lap band. You will need to tell your surgeon that you have a band and let him evaluate you for the best surgery for you.
