The surgeons office I'm going with includes one year of fills. The doctors say that that's 90 percent of the fills ill ever need.. Is that true?

I'm not sure if it is true but my doctor did say the same thing.

Probably, but sometimes Surgeon's need to tweak things a little. I have 5 cc. I have had 5 cc for about 2 years, but had a slip and needed to have everything removed and then a surgical revision. He had to remove everything, but when he put fill back in, I am still at 5 cc. Does that make sense? I sometimes ramble in teh early mornings. Best wishes, Karen

My docotr has 1 year of fills with surgery costs and at my 6 month time, he will do a CBC (complete blood count) and check for any deficiencies in my blood.

Glad you're feeling better.

Karen did u have your band removed?

No, just a revision. The surgeon took all fill out, for 1 week, then did revision, thn filled again after 1 month. He thought he would ahve to remove and place anew one, but he was able to revision it, instead. Hurray, for me! Karen

How bad was the recovery from the revision? I'm having one next week.

Actually, I answered on your other site. My recovery was quite a bit better than the earlier surgery. I was home within a few hours and felt pretty good. I knew what to expect, also. I was on a my 1st ever cruise 2 weeks after my surgery. The hardest part was waiting for the month to get a fill. Even tho' I had the band for 2 years, it was still hard. But, I adjusted my eating habits and did okay. Best wishes,Karen
