Has anyone heard of this band? its supposed to be inflated to a certain restriction with a machine - no port, no needles, no injections to fill or unfill - uses air or something... anyone know anything about this?

It is funny to see you asking about this, I just read about it not more than a 1/2 hour ago. It is called the easy band. It isn't available in the US yet only Europe and the UK. Instead of a port it has an electronic receiver or antenna that receives a signal from an outside device telling it to open or close the band. Less painful, more accurate, no chance for leaks and less chance for port infections. It will be interesting to see how well this works.

I'd be interested in reading about it. Can you guys tell me where you found the info???
