bandmemaybe

my band came out late Friday night-I went home Sunday

I know that I have an eroded band..30% , diagnosed in June- my symptoms were anemia and no restriction. I did not do a removal at that time due to travel plans. So a month later I'm finishing up my last trip but getting increasingly nervous...what would the absolute worst case be? What would sudden onset symptoms be? Since I am pain and restriction free can I relax for another month? Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I found out I've eroded (30%) and my bands coming out-I wondered if there is an US doc thats known for removels? What complications folks have had after erosion/removal-anything else you'd want to share-thanks

Hi :-) I mainly post on a different site-but am pretty desperate for imput and hope to broaden my search-hope you'll indulge me :-) I was banded 2 years ago-get fills and feel some restriction for a couple weeks then lose the feeling (NOT the saline- no leak) I'm filled to 4.25 cc in the smaller band with NO restriction-honest< I can eat anything in preband portions and never pb anymore...my surgeon has checked it and says it looks tight enough under fluro...but I believe food just goes right through ...my fill doc (different man) is willing to add more but has no reason for my feeling no restriction-the only thing I can think of is a weak place in the tubing that is bulging, keeping the saline from moving equally around the band-checking that out means a trip to Mexico-again- to have barium injected instead of saline..which I'll do when I can -BUT if you have had a similar problem or lack of restriction with plenty of saline I really love to hear your story-thanks so much!!

Don't know if you are still around -but I'm also struggling with a lack of restricted FEELING-while having plenty of saline (4.25 cc in the smaller band) Did you ever get any answers? Some of the people who replied to your thread seemed to miss the amount of fill you have and the quanity you can eat....it isn't right-although I can't find out why it happens-I told my doc I could (and have) eaten 2 double cheesebugers-of course we all agree thats a poor choice but WHY can I eat that-overfilled with saline_ and some can eat 2 bites with just a little saline??
