Erosion

[oh 2 b thin]

Well I had an erosion in July on 2005 and since it has been removed I am miserable. I an gaining weight and I am so depresed I miss my litle tool. If anyone has any information about someone having an erosion and having another band put back in I would surley appreciate the information. I am scared of having it done again, is the stomach too week , would it happen again or am i totaly riskin more serious complcations? The band did wonders for me I lost 95 pounds and I felt geat. So nyone out there please send me your thoughts. Lisa

i am confused about this erosion thing alot of you are talking about. how do you know if you have erosion? i drink about 4 carbonated sodas a day? is this bad?

i had my band in dec.2004. lost 40lbs. and recently gained back about 20lbs, after my husbands death.

i am wondering if i should have even had it done.how much does it cost to have it taken out it it is eroded? and if it needs to be redone do i nee to pay full price again???i am starting to get upset at the thought!!

I have read in several books that they just let the stomach heal and they can put another on. I would visit with the doc about it and see if he thinks you are high risk to erode again. Dr. Martinous even told me they do put them back on. Good Luck.
