I'm new to this site. I had my lap band placed 9/20/12, they had me do the swallow test and nothing went through......couldn't keep ice chips down all night they did keep me. The next day another surgery to correct problem, now it's ok. The next swallow test the next day went great! It was an ordeal. Glad to be home and ok. My first check up I had lost 15 pounds. I'm looking forward to the future!
