Endoscopy 1 year to 18 months after LAP-BAND® is the most recommended kind of "maintenance" one can have. This will help us make sure everything is doing fine with our LAP-BAND®, our pouch, etc. In Tijuana, Mexico, you can get it done very affordably (about $400) if you search well. I will have mine done next year, around may 2010:thumbup:

What are the symptoms of band erosion?
mylapbandjourna replied to want2beme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had the lapband placed about 1 year ago. No problems for a bit over a year. A couple of weeks after 1st anniversary, my doc said he had to remove the port which was giving me problems. A few weeks after the port removal, dr said that one sympthom of band erosion is infection of the port (?). Not sure about this, though. I did develop an infection during the removal of the port, but my port was not infected before being removed. Does anyone has any experience about port infection deriving from band erosion:confused::seeya::confused::blushing:
