Julie, youβre not alone. I wonder how long my band will last as well, but fortunately Iβve had zero problems six years in. I never βtestβ it, and I maintain a healthy respect for the rules, including no NSAIDs for my arthritis.
If I ever had problems and needed it removed, I would certainly have another WLS again.
I love my band.
