I was banded 3 weeks ago in Boise, Idaho. I also had a very positive experience and am thrilled with the results so far. I am determined to work with my band and get this weight off for good!

Pretty much all surgeries have a chance of going wrong. This one is no different. The risks are minimal and the chances of serious complications are relatively low.
In the statistics I run the current average for erosion is about 8 out of every 100. 2% have encountered slips.
The fact is that my statistics don't paint a fair picture. If everyone on LBT had logged their stats, chances are the number would have dwindled to a very very small level.
Take heart, this isn't a risky surgery. Follow the rules, and you should do just fine.
