I am getting banded with Dr. K on the 23rd of July. I've read some of the posts about him on here and I would not have even found him if not for this site. So thank you :biggrin2:. I have read that every Dr. is different with fills and so on, is he a fairly "aggressive" filler? I will not be living in the area and so I go back and forth on if I want to have more or less restriction. I would like more so that I don't have to go back for a fill right away, but I would like less in case there was a problem. Anyone else have this feelings about this? And feel free to let me know I have no idea what I am talking about. I am really trying to learn all I can before I get banded. Please tell me all of your experiences with him and the band, I would appreciate it soooo much! Cheers...Jill:lol:

Wow I hope that by now you aren't "stuck" anymore. Is this a common thing with banding? I haven't been banded yet but will be in July. I'm trying to find out all I can ahead of time. What is the average cc fill or is there an average?

Hello everyone :biggrin2: I have been reading blogs on here since I made the decision to get the surgery. I am not sure I would have found my Dr. without this site. I am going to Dr. Kirshenbaum and am very excited! His staff has been so helpful, I have yet to talk to him but will shortly. The closer it gets to the date the more nervous I am becoming. I am starting to worry about slipping, port issues, soreness....and so on. It is all worth it right? :biggrin: I think I am needing the comfort of people who have already gotten the surgery...any advice on anything please let me know. Thank you, have a great day. Cheers...Jill
