They will send your images to a radiologist who will send it to your doc

If they are using a flouroscopy machine, they should be able to see right away. Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com

i think it depends. Usually they dont want to say anything and send it to dr. However when my wife went they gave her the images walking out the door and told her all was well. I wish you the best!!!!

In my experience, you can see it while they are doing the fluoroscopy. My doc uses it WHILE ADJUSTING THE BAND....hopefully, your's will too.

All looks well it was really interesting with a great explanation. The radiographer measured my present fill and I had lost approx 1 ml again . I drunk the liquid and it showed I had no restriction . He then topped me up to 8 ml and did another X-ray with the liguid still no restriction. Topped me up to just over 9 and It showed good restriction . My port band band and position all show to be correct with no obvious leaks . He was really nice and said he can't rule out a small leak that the X-ray just isn't picking up as I keep losing a ml every time . I'm back at the hospital group any way for a fill on Monday so I will ask her to measure my Fluid again hopefully it will all be there but if not then I have a small leak ! Staying hopeful though !!!! Thanks everyone :0)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
