OOO

Has anyone been stationed in Japan since they've had the band?? In the oversees screening list, it says NO to gastric bypass, but NOTHING about the band. Since the band is so different, I am hoping it is OK. I would love to hear about anyone's experience. Also...at a year out, how often are people getting fills?? Once a year? Thanks for ya'lls help!!

My doc says liquids for the rest of the day of the fill and then soft the following day then I'm good to go. I think it is interesting how different our instructions are! Hmmmm......

Thanks for your post. I will forward any info I gather in my quest for a flatter tummy!:rolleyes2:

Does anyone have any info or experience with reconstructive surgery (Tummy Tucks & Breast Reduction) and Tri Care? I am only 3 months and 37 lbs down, but it is becoming pretty obvious that a tummy tuck will be in order down the road and breast reduction would sure make exercising easier on my back. I am curious if they have certain requirements to qualify like they do for the lap band. Thanks for your input!!:w00t: Kristin banded 29 July 08 :w00t:
