stevenduck 		The first step should be taken in order for treatment of lap band erosion is taking antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection. Infection is open with port then prompt for removal of the port. After that, band can be removed semi-electively. It is necessary to remove lap band system to prevent further complication. Removal of eroded band is different than installation. Eroded band will not remove laparoscopically rather it needs open abdominal surgery and recovery time is much more in this. It is recommended to performing another lap banding within 6 to 8 months after removal of lap band. Some surgeon performs installation of lap band at the same time of removal of eroded band. But this is considered to be high incidence of complication and failure.
