Does anyone know if the band has any metal parts? Can we still have MRIs?

You sure can.

Here's a link to a thread here about the materials you should have received when you got your band:

I have MS and have to get MRIs more often than I would like. Make sure to tell your MRI tech you have a lapband and make sure the doctor ordering the MRI is also aware. They may need to make changes in the way the shoot it as ther is metal in the port but the MRI can be done. I have to do brain and back scans but have done so with no band issues.
