I did a preemptive thing and had a 1cc defill prior to a shoulder surgery. I was having occasional reflux and thought it would be bad to have it while knocked out on the Drs slab. My fill nurse thought it was an awesome idea. Oddly for the past week, I've felt physically better since the defill, so if things work out, I won't get topped off again...

The surgeon and anesthesiologist were very appreciative as well..

You look great, maybe you were in the "red" zone and did not need that extra 1 cc. More or tighter is not always better. take it from me, I thought I was good and then told my surgeon that I was eating sliders a nd wanted a tweak so he checked and he removed a .1 cc from my band! I am better now, too!
