Good Day fellow banders,

I had a lapband put in on Sept 28, 2007 at OBG and I have just been told that my band is 40% eroded. It is a MID Band. I am quite discouraged.

They did an endoscopy and gave me some pills and sent me on my way.

I have sent an email to Dr. V and to the MidBand web site.

Any support will be greatly aprreciated.

My husband and I are poster children for the economic crisis. I have been unemployed for quite some time and he just went for a month on unemployment. Growl Snarl

Thanks in advance,

Didn't even know what that meant. Too Funny.

Guess I am smart.

So sorry to hear about your problems. I hope the doctor can help you without spending a lot of money. I too feel the economic pinch. My husband is disabled from a stroke 7 years ago and I have been unemployed over a year and a half. My band, thankfully, was paid for by insurance. Good luck. Hope it works out.

I am really sorry to hear about your band. An erosion always requires removal. I hope Dr. V cuts you a break on the cost. Do not wait to have this done. Your health is paramount.
