Well i had the fill yesterday. everything went ok. he had me stand up with the needle in and swallow the applesauce. it went down in 6 seconds before the fill and 12 after. i don;t feel anymore restriction this morning than i did before but hopefully it will sneak up on me! I only had 1 cc. he put me at 1.5

That is enlightening, never thought of it that way. I was wondering why they said this 1 week before my surgery, my liver could not have shrunk that much in a week.
-
My dr said the pre surgery diet was so that you would lose some of the fat around your liver so that they can manuever better during surgery.

I am going for my fill today, i hope he does not think im crazy coming in there with apple sauce.....

I had the surgery on a thursday and he ok'd me to go back that next monday, but i waited until wednesday. -
iluvharleys, I see Dr benavides that has an office in Grand Prarie close to Dallas and I love him. He is very nice, experienced and knowlegable. He travels to college station/bryan about every six weeks and has a clinic here also. At the time i had my surgery he charged 15,000 for surgery and that included f/u care and fills for the 1st year. He has a web site www.drbenavides.com hope this helps!

I was banded in October 2003. I had to stay one night in the hospital. He still wants me to do the protien shakes, but I do not do them as much as I should. I am going to have a fill with his partner Dr Garwood today in College Station. This will be my 3rd fill. He put in .4 at first then the second time 1.1 for a total of 1.5. I am hoping he will give me a whole 1 today. we will see. -
I tried this too, going on what i have done since being married....normal...thats it plain ole normal.

I see Dr benavides also. He comes to a clinc here in College Station/Bryan. I did not like the staff in Richardson but the people here are great. Did you buy the protien drink from the office? i bought the vanilla and put about 2 tsp of sugar free jello pudding (the powder) in it and made it like instant pudding it was better than plain. -
Count me in also....id wear it.
