omg thankssssssssss i was so worried ..hopefully it wont need a new surgery my dr said the same ..i wanted to make sure its probably a swelling .. so now i ll have to fill up the 2cc again ? and add maybe 1 cc more to get the target restriction ?? with 6cc i felt partial restriction and i was taking care wanted to reach the sweet phase .. and lose more so wanted another fill .. or now i can be ok with only 4cc in the band -
