Shrinkage

Sorry to quote myself, but on second thought, let me rephrase my question: Regardless of whether or not they use fluoroscopy, who do you guys recommend for fills in the SLC area? S. Valley Surgical? Rocky Mtn. Assoc. Physicicans? Thanks a lot. -Dan

Hi. I need a 2nd fill, and I was wondering which of the SLC-area docs uses fluoroscopy during the fill process. My Chicago surgeon uses a fluoroscope for fills, and I'm much more comfortable that way than "flying blind". Thanks a lot. -Dan

Thanks for the info and for the quick reply, momlambert. Much appreciated! :smile:

Howdy all. I was banded on 10/1/07 in the Chicago area. I was recently relocated to the Salt Lake City area (Bountiful) for my job, and I was wondering how to find a good Lap-Band surgeon here. I wasn't moving very quickly to find out, but I had a pretty bad PB last night, and it occurred to me that if something bad happens, I have no one to turn to in my new city. Can anyone please share any recommendations? Thanks a lot.

My first fill is scheduled for Mon 11/12 - exactly 6 weeks after being banded (10/1).

No scale in my house. My scale, she is an much emotionally manipulative mistress.

The only flavor I like is Cinnamon (though I haven't tried banana yet - any good?), and I have it every morning (still on mushies). I thought the maple flavor overpowered the Maple & Brown sugar variety.

:clap2: I may be fairly new around these parts, but that makes a great deal of sense to me.

I have a few numb spots, too, mostly around the middle of my torso.

That's good to hear. Do you mean on mushies or just in general (i.e. with restriction)?

I was afraid of that. Not a fan of the fluffy ones - too much like cotton candy. There's no there there.

Crucial question: are you guys referring to the big fluffy matzo balls? Because I'm very partial to the firmer kind, and my wife makes the best ones around. If I chop 'em up and chew really well, is there any way those can work, or does the fact that they're so compact rule it out automatically?
