Thanks for the information. I too have had such difficulty finding someone to do my fills, since I lost my insurance, at a reasonable cost. Just spoke with their office and they have accommodated me. Thanks. Will post after fill.

Just had my fill yesterday, and boy I wish I had read this before I tried to eat a small piece of cucumber. I had clear liquids and had some issues with that alone. I know I amvery tight but I really had no restriction for the last 3 weeks. I was in referral hell until my insurance finally approved my fill. Thanks for the information this will make things easier for me. I find it funny that the doctor says just try things little by little and see what happens. So far no pb' ing thank goodness but I though I was going to die in order to pass that small piece of cucumber. I won't do that again. Thanks for all the information all above have provided.

I was banded 3 wks ago. My preop tests were nothing. Don't worry it is done so quickly. I was actually surprised how quickly I walked out.
