"Either way, I realize and have come to terms that there WILL be another surgery eventually. The band is not designed to be life long only long term to change eating habits so that you learn to live without the band."
I am very interested to know where this information comes from - what is the source? Inamed? This is not in any literature I've read or heard about. From what I've read there is no reason to ever have the band removed, unless there is erosion or too much slippage. Please provide the source.
Thanks!
