Wendell Edwards

Wendell, I just wanted to say thank you for the most helpful and simplified version of a fill, I have read. My surgery was 2/9/2009. Other lap band patients that went before me, are complaining about no restriction, even after one or two fills. I feel just right myself. We do have the problem you mention in #1, We live in Hilo and have to fly to Honolulu for our fills, and the surgeon told one of the banders, her first fill , he was just giving her .2c/c, so as not to over fill and have her, to turn around and fly back. I'm going to pass this info along at our next Bariatric meeting. I think it would be very helpful. Kaiser in Honolulu has only been doing the Lap-Band for a couple of years now, so I am part of a pioneer group from the Big Island.
