Well what a palarva!

I went yesterday for my 2nd fill. Since my first fill was almost a disaster, I will now only let my surgeon do them and not members of his team!

Since so many people ask me on here and I honestly didn't know, I decided to ask about my band...how big, how many cc's etc?

His reply...ahh you don't need to know that...I'll take care of everything!:omg: :faint:

What could I do? If the doc don't want to tell me I can't exactly make him LOL and so I'll do what he said and trust him.

Apart from that, everything went fine. He did the fill in a few seconds it seemed and said hopefully now I would start to feel some restriction:clap2:

I drank water fine while I was there and again when I got home. Today and tomorrow I'm on soups and everything seems OK. I'll let you know what happens when I get back onto foods and if there is actually any difference.

What else? Went for a walk this morning into town and bought myself some body butter from the Body Shop...smells so good you could eat it...well it would be a soft food LOL They gave me a nice sarong as a gift and it's the same colour as my new swimming cossie so that was good :)

I treated myself to some new mascara and nail polish while I was out. I need a hat too but couldn't find one that I liked. I'm not used to wearing hats so I guess I just felt self conscious in all of them. I called in the supermarket to get some cuppa soups and thats about it. Later!

Actually, by law he should disclose to you whatever you ask. Ever heard of HIPAA? Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act? If a patient want's info, the doc has to give it, to include copies of all your medical records. You should have a post operative report that clearly states your lapband's serial number as well as size and capacity.

Thanks Telly but here in Greece regardless of "rules" everyone kinda does their own thing LOL. I'll ask him again and if I push him I think he'll tell..."I have ways of making him talk..."
