YEAH!!!

Tight?

no not at all but I go back on the 30th and get the rest put back in

seems like they would have known that before scheduling you. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Good luck tomorrow.

One would think they'd fill under fluoro this time around just to make sure the fill is right and the band is where it should be? Placement of the band might dictate a different fill level?

When my band was totally unfilled for a different reason, not as serious as a slip, my surgeon was much more conservative with the rate of refilling the band. I guess factors include the size of your band, and how much it was filled prior to the slip. I tend to be conservative with fills. Everyone is different. Ask your surgeon what they feel is appropriate for your unique situation. Best wishes!

I have a 14 cc bag and I had it filled to 9.5 which honestly was to much I would like to start at 6 but I really doubt they will do that

plication is where they fold half your stomach over and stitch it. it's like a sleeve without any cutting of the stomach. it's still in the experimental stage but a lot of lapbanders have it done with their bands.

thanks I see

To add to what terry said, they don't actually fold the stomach over. They fold the greater curvature inward on itself, and put two rows of non-disolving stitches.....making the capacity of shape in and around the size of the sleeve. Then they place the band. At times I've tried to eat right through band signals, the plication gives me a huge kick in the butt.
