Remeber the weight you have lost.... Remeber what you have on your profile and I quote: Now that there is less of me other people notice me more! That candy is going to take that away from you......is it worth it? Yes it will taste good, but that taste will last 10 seconds. people noticing you will last a lifetime. Make me think of the MasterCard commercial. Price of candy $$$, price of people noticing me PRICELESS!!!

That seams to be the topic of the day. There are several threats going on about it with links to research and articles. I can't give you statistics but I can give you my opinion (disclaimer time: This is only my opinion & is not based on fact) Per my doctor the main cause of erosion is patient error, ie big bites and eating too fast. When you do this the food backs up in your pouch (part above the band). The pouch hangs over the band and the band erodes into the stomach. Again my opinion only. Anyone this has happened to says that they followed the lapband rules and their band just eroded for no reason. Believe what you want. For me, I know I have a 'foreign object' in my body and I will need to treat it correctly and maintain it as directed by my doctor. This is no different than having a pace macker or artificial limb. I am willing to take the chance with 'complications' in the future. But, I have also followed my doctors orders to the T and I try my hardest to live by the rules at all times. But that's just me. Read the other threads and make the choice that is best for you. The band is what was best for me.

That is so awesome! It'd funny how our head says there is no way you will fit into that... but we do. Rock on!!
