I was not aware the band would erode.   I have a co-worker that she had the saline removed because she was having problems and gaind all of hte 65 pounds she lost.  

How did it erode

Erosion is a side effect of the band and happens in 1.3% of the band done. Theree is no real reason they can pinpoint for mine.  it can happen because of the band being too tight, ect.....  but wasn't my reason. 


so I unfortunately had to have my friend removed.  I've regained alot of weight I'd lost with out my band so I'm lookin forward to a new buddy!!  a sleeve!

I can understand the odds   I have Charcots foot a dropped arch that once the bones heal they are invertied upside down     that happend to only 3% of the Diabetics in the world.

Then I had a endoscopy and found I had a yeast fungus growing in it... The doctor said it is rare but not uncommon.  How that happens I have no Idea.

Well I hope all goes well for you .... I hate gaining weight when you loose it  I guess that is why we are all here.
