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)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
