Am I the only one who's starting to get freaked out about all the erosions we've been hearing about lately? I'm beginning to wonder if this is a more common problem than I realize. Lately I've been thinking that it almost seems unreasonable to believe that one could have a tight band around one's stomach for a long period of time and that it wouldn't erode or cause some other problem. Does anyone know what the real rate of erosion is?

When I get to my goal weight I am definitely going to get as much of an unfill as I can while still maintaining my weight.

Melissa I got that exact same pain for 4 moths post op, it felt a side ache pain when you ran too much or too fast. It goes away, I have not had it in months.
