I'm a SILS patient, and, as of last Thursday with an added .5 ccs, I have 6.5 ccs in a 10 cc band.
One interesting thing my doctor said is that he believes the band settles differently on the stomachs of SILS patients, and that he sees a better loss-rate with us. Is anyone else here a SILS (Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) patient? Would be interesting to see if it's a trend elsewhere.
[Disclaimer: I do NOT think I have a fantastic rate of loss. I just think I have a steady rate of loss. I know there are others here who have lost weight SO much quicker. For me, I just feel more comfortable with my rate. I'm a slow-and-steady, sneak-up-on-the-sweet-spot kinda girl.)]
So, other SILS patients, what say you? Is your progress better than your doctor expected, and has your doctor mentioned the surgery technique being partially responsible?
