What size Band do U have?
michael watkins replied to samanthea's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it does seem like a big band for your size but my surgeon told me that no matter the persons size everyones is different inside and sizes of stomachs very! so the 14cc band probably fit you alot better than the 10cc. -
silly question???

fluoroscopy fill question??
michael watkins posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi everyone, i was just curious if anyone knows why when you go in for a fill under fluoro. why is it that when you go home you feel the same as before the fill? shouldnt i feel more restriction since my dr.watched the restriction level? i just had my first fill and thought since he was watching it that it would be alot better! i was hoping for just a little more restriction but feel the same! thanks everyone!:thumbdown: -
