So had my first fill today! :scared2: Been banded since 2003, had a slip repair
in 2006, and 2/2/10 had band replaced with new one, scar tissue removed that had formed it's own "band", and port moved.
Dr. does fills it with 5cc (mine holds 10cc). I'm a lil nervous as I've been to tight and caused the slip. I express my concerns with such a big fill. He suggests we do the swallowing study. GOOD THING! :smile: I was to tight!! Takes out .5cc. Still to tight. Takes out another .5cc. I'm good!! I might still be a lil swollen still. So we will see how it goes in a couple of weeks.
Also, Dr. doesn't do the 1 day liquids, 1 day soft, and then on to food diet?!?! ummm....I'm gonna do it! So baby food has been great today :thumbup:.
So here we go again! I'm hoping third time is a charm!!!
