When I went to the doctor I had wrote a lot of questions down and my doc .answered all that I had asked,and 1 questionI asked was,I am scared of the erosion of the band and she said that there has been an Increase in band erosion,that kinda scared me and she said that there was some failure in the produce,I was just wondering if this is where she didn't want to do the lapband or there was really an increase in the erosion,so I thought I would check it out and read up on this...I went to the next best place to look and that was sleevetalk.com.when I did I was suprised when I saw several band had eroded through and they had to either have the band put back in or change the surgery.and of course they chose another surgery so they wont have to worry about it,so they chose the sleeve.....I am now leaning more towards the sleeve now....but I am sceptable about it and I am also loosing the support of my husband....I feel like im loosing all the way around...so please if anyone has delt with erosion in the band fill me in as to what happened and how do I get over these weird feelings........camille01

    My best friend had the sleeve done, and I had the band done. We both love what we chose. I did have a few concerns before my band. However, I was too scared to have anything else done. I say go with what you feel is right for you. There are always chances of band erosion. However, I am not going to worry about that until I have a reason to worry. Good luck on your choice! :rolleyes:

    Hi Dadkins8, I really want to thank you for the encourragement, after I went to the calceltation with the surgeon I feel so much better she really helped me out and she didn't make up my mind for me ,she did tell me from the results that she has seen she thought that I would do very well with the sleeve, I was happy to get her opinoin and thank you for that pick-me-up.
