My worst fear....foreign body rejection

[Ginaki 0]

Anyone's body rejected the band? what would be the symptoms? Vomiting maybe?

This is my worst fear leading up to my 30th october surgery date....:help:

Its not that kinda thing. I am newly banded and have the worst allergies known, i dont have problems. Hey they put metal in folks, pins and rods with problems. Implants too... You'll be fine and happy that you done it.

Its not like putting someone else's organ in you. Only problem i had was to the surgical tape. I had huge hives.

I don`t think it happens very often. Your doctor should be able to explain symtoms to you. Donna

I had some kind of reaction right after I had the band placed. I questioned if I was rejecting the band but my surgeon said it was rare and because of the kind of material the band was made of it was highly unlikely anyone would be allergic to it.

Hope that helped.

BY the way, my symptoms was a rash. Nothing else.

Silicone is fairly inert in the body (apart from liquid form that leaks out of breast implants). To "reject" it would be extraordinarily rare. Its not likely to happen. People have rods, pins etc in them all the time.

Penni,

I see you were disbanded a couple of years ago from a rare rejection, but you are still an active member of this site. I was wondering what kept you motivated to continue to be an active member of this site? How are you doing now?

I was disbanded due to erosion not rejection. I think you sent me a PM on this same subject. LOL!!

I still have friends on this site and I love to help if I can.
