Scared about band and self pay

Hey guys, I decided to self pay lap band. I am now worried because what if the band slips or something goes wrong? Would I have to self pay for all of that? Please help. :cursing::wink2:

    Do your homework like above posters suggest. Self pay is worth it...within 48 hours after my surgery, my hormones were normal!! No more hormone replacement, no more stupid docs trying to fix a hormone imbalance with freakin antidepressants... :smile2:

    You will find your peace!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    is it true that smoking will erode the band?

    No, it is not. It was a theory, they realized they were wrong. Same holds true with coffee and NSAIDs.

    Truth is, other than those that are too tight for too long they don't know what causes erosion.
