Lap Band Material

Something I was wondering, what material are these bands made of? I'm just thinking how long this object will last in our bodies. :help:

    I'm pretty sure it's silicone with a little bit of titanium in the port. Assuming there's no issues, it'll last longer than you do, lol

    Same stuff BOOBS are made of! LOL

    Band is thicker and the innertub is thinner..........

    Also the port is much like any other implantable device... my grandma had one for pain medicine and diabetics have one for insulin (so I'm told)

    Stints, Pacemakers, etc.... all things proven to be medical miracles and I view the band as the same.
