padrick 		Lap Band Erosion Start with a port infection. if lap band erosion was not diagnosed then even after the removal of band, infection will continue. So it better to diagnosis of lap band erosion. Lap band erosion diagnosis is best made at the radiological evaluation. This is performed under fluoroscopy. If radiological evaluation doesn’t show any sign of lap band erosion in patients but patient has symptoms then doctor will be obliged to perform Endoscopy. It is diagnosis with upper GI endoscopy. If lap band erosion is in its early stage then upper GI x-ray doesn’t detect it. It can also be occasionally detected through CT scans. Radiological and endoscopic test are required to show the presence of lap band erosion, in the case of chronic infection.
