I've never heard of anyone. Why do you ask?

It's made of silicone and titanium. I don't think anyone's allergic to those.

I actually asked my doctor about this before I got banded and he said it could be possible but had never heard of it.

now im really curious cause i have a rash/hives (i had this since the begining of week two and it increased) right around where my stomach/band is on my biggest incission (under my right boob) and near one of the holes on the right and its so darn itchy and its achey, the band that is, and ive been nauseated and i read the symtoms, it was on there, so should i ask my dr about this and see if i can get and alergy test or something?
