Anyone who had a band erosion...

Did you have any symptoms? Lately I have felt like something is very wrong.  Sometimes I have restriction, sometimes I don't.  I get a weird burning sensation in my chest every once in a while that definitely doesn't feel like reflux.  I even took Tums for it but it didn't help. I have an appointment on Wednesday for a fill, so I'll talk to the PA about it, but I wanted to know if this could possibly ******osion.  I'm worried... Thanks!

Band erosions are very rare, I would definitely see your band surgeon for an evaluation.

Hi Have you posted this on the lap band forum or lapbandtalk.com? I am having similar feelings--you can contact me if you want. Let me know how it goes w/ your dr.

If you have erosion or a slip, you definitely should not let the PA fill you tomorrow.  Go in for your appointment and talk with the surgeon.  S/he will want to schedule you for at least a barium swallow, possibly an endocscopy, to diagnose the slip or erosion.  I hope it's nothing, though. :)
