Band Pictures

[Vera 7]

Here's a few pic's of my band during a Barium swallow just 2 days after banding. This pic was taken while I was lying on the table at a 45 degree angle taken from above.

This is my old port, see the leak?

Why did you get these pics done? I mean what was it for?

Thanks

Vera,

I would really like to know if and how large a fill your doctor gave you. Could you share that with us?

Always,

Judy

Jack, I'm doing great. Thanks

Nykee, some doctors to barium check right after banding, before you leave the hospital. This is the same procedure that is used when getting a fluoroscopy fill. Dr. Sanchez felt the need for this check considering all I’ve been through, with the re-banding.

The last pic was done by Dr. McKeen. That is contrast showing the leak on my old tubing/band.

Judy, I have No fill. I'm very tight. It's been 1 week since re-banding.

I just thought these pics were interesting and for those who haven't seen a band inside.

WOW, cool pics!! Thanks for sharing those. I have an X-ray of my new Inamed 9.75 but it's from MX and it isn't the clearest shot of the band. Really, you can just see what the band is making the barium do...which is all you need but...your pics are COOL! Gonna show my hubby these!
