Rejection of band/nickel allergy

[Luka Beth 78]

I don't have a link to this information. It was emailed to me by Allergan via a .pdf file. However, you can request the same information via the online information request on the allergan website. The nickel is contained in the anchors that hold the port in place, I think.

You can just google "nickel in lap band"

Best thing to do is get an allergy test.. I had a bad reaction to a titanium ring years ago.. 1 dr said i was allergic.. i had an allergy test right before deciding the band.. Came out negative.. Got the lap band had the worst eczema for 2 weeks thought I was rejecting the band but now 1.5 months later I'm perfectly fine
