Julia_N 2 Posted September 2, 2009 It's made of silicone and titanium. I don't think anyone's allergic to those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThinAli 0 Posted September 2, 2009 I actually asked my doctor about this before I got banded and he said it could be possible but had never heard of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
