Does a Lap Band Have to Be Removed After So May Fills or Years?

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
The lap band is intended to remain indefinitely and is typically only removed when the patients experiences symptoms attributed to the band. Since most patients gain weight after band removal, a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass is often performed at the time of removal.
Kind regards,

A lap-band needs to be closely supervised, when we started working with obesity and lap-bands 20 years ego there where very few bariatric options, today we know that an unsupervised lap-band can create very serious damage than can include erosion and perforation of the stomach. You need to get tested asap 

No, the Lap Band is designed to be a permanent implant.  If the Lap Band is removed, studies show that patients will likely regain the weight they have lost.  During the Lap Band procedure there are no permanent changes made to the stomach, so if the band is removed the stomach will return to the configuration and function it had prior to the procedure.
