Confused....

I am 3 years out of surger, I have lost 240 lbs (started at 444 lbs). I recently gained 80 lbs back in the last 2 months. I had an endoscopy completed last week, now I am just curious as to what is next now that I found that my band has erroded into my stomach... I didn't even notice till I started to see the weight gain. I know this isn't normal but I want to know if it is correctable? does this mean that I will need the other surgery rather than the band? :confused2:

I have not recieved an answer yet, had an endoscopy Thursday last, and my doctor gets back this morning so I should hear either today or tomorrow. as for how I am dealing, just like before, now that I know there is a problem, I don't have to freak over the fact that I am gaining weight. I don't let my band slow me down, it keeps me going.
