Here's what MY restriction level looks like.

Here's a short video ( I took with my phone after the fluoroscopy ) of what my restriction level looked like today during my doctor visit. He was pleased with the "pouch" size. Said everything looks good... almost 4 years post op. I now have 9 cc's in a 14 cc band. In the video, about 4 seconds in, you can see as I swallow the contrast liquid and it flows past the band.

I have never had fluoro, so I really appreciate seeing what should be going on inside me. Thank you so much for sharing! And happy to hear all is going well for you

This is terrific. You know what I learned? It's not the restriction of the band that's important, but how the band controls the descent of the food. That's why looking at pouch size is critical when assessing a fill. I went for my [almost] 4 month post-op appointment with my surgeon yesterday, and when he looked at my fluoro picture, he confirmed what I already know: I need a bit more saline. This was all based on the pouch size he saw, which was clearly not "pouchy" enough yet with my current 4 ccs in a 10 cc band.

Thanks for posting this because it really shows what we are aiming for when we talk about a green zone.

That's usually how mine looks. I never thought about videoing it. Thanks for sharing. I may do that next month when I go.
