Slippage or erosion signs???

[gottago 0]

What are the signs of slippage and or erosion? Does anyone know that if you do end up with either slippage or erosion...

1) How long before they will put another band back in?

2) If the Dr. will discount the re-banding?

3) If there is a cost to take out the band and if so, is it expensive?

Any insight, opinions, suggestions, personal experiences would be so greatly appreciated.

1) They might not be able to effectively replace the band due to scar tissue and those that have eroded are more likely to erode again. Many prefer to go to the next step, a sleeve.

2) Depends on the doc's policy.

3) The hospitals don't work for free, depends on the hospital and number of complications as to what the cost will be.
