Hello all...been a while since I've been on here. My wife had her band put in during April of 2008. My wife has been having some issues with weight gain/pain for the last few months. Today an ECG showed that her Lap-Band has completely eroded through her stomach. She was told by the GI doctor that she would have to have it taken out, let her stomach heal, and then, if she wants another, put another band in. We called the Dr's office that did the band, told them the results and they scheduled an appointment for next monday. Anybody ever have this happen to them???

Sorry to hear about the erosion. Good luck to you both.

OMG... How terrible... I've never heard of such a thing.... Okay, I always knew in the back of my mind any number of things can and occasionaly do go wrong, but had hoped it wasn't true... I wish her the best and will pray for a speedy recovery... Keep us updated on her progress as to how well she heals etc....
