Can someone please tell me what the symptoms of band erosion are....For about 7 months I have had discomfort where my band is. The pain goes into my back..It has gotten worse every month and now I am concerned. It feels like I am having a constant gallbladder attack..It's like a burning, twisting, tightening sensation..If anyone has had a band erosion detected, please let me know the symptoms...Do you think that I have a band erosion?? Thank you

Hello everyone! I am new here. I have the lap band. I got it in Mexico on July 7th 2007. I lost some weight at first(15lbs), but I am back up again. It is not working for me at all. There are things I can't eat....So I eat the things I can and too much of it:bored:. And the Doc. says it has slipped slightly so it is not working properly. I need a stronger tool. I am in the process of getting the band removed and changing to the gastric bypass. Do you think I am doing the right thing?? Tell me what you think. I am happy for you Nanook. Do whatever makes you happy. I know what it is like to live with the band and not have good results. It's really annoying and you feel like a failure. AND it's always on your mind... We are both just still trying to figure out what will work best for us! Much support, Kaeleen
