@thinnerS thank you. Do you know if the lap band has a casing as well? I don't have implants but know of a few people that do, which is why I knew about the casing. I'm wondering if you have to find a specific surgeon to remove the lap band so it is done properly (just like you have to find a specific surgeon who will remove the implants and the casing)

im glad you're feeling better! Very scary.

@thinnerS where did you have it removed? Do you know if the band creates a casing of skin around it? I've done research on silicone toxicity and breast implants and they say it's not enough to remove the silicone breast. There is apparently a casing that forms around the silicone breast hat also has to be removed and wondering if it's the same with the lap band?
