Health of the Band

Hey All,

I am approaching 19 months (Nov 16) out and things are going great. Lately, though I have been wondering about the health of my band. I have no real reasons to be suspicious of a problem but I am curious. Since I hit the year mark and I was in the green zone my Doc started setting me up with 6 month follow up appointments instead of every 6 weeks. They always tell me if for any reason I need to come in then just call.

I have never had a Fluro fill. I would just go in to the office and they would stick the needle in and be done. I am just curious if anyone else has thought much about this. I know the old saying goes "if ain't broken then don't fix it"

thanks for reading...

i dont know what (or if) complications could arise in the future of my band..

i am not going to worry about it as that doesnt solve anything.......so what i do is keep

a close eye on what i do.....what i eat, the size, keep in touch with my dr (monthly)

and xray fluro every 3 months to make sure its all okay.....i am mindful of what the dr told me

and i am going to do my best to adhere....i intend to have it for the rest of my life...(esp since

it gave me my life back...i am forever grateful to the band and my dr and my ole man)

if anything goes wrong, i will cross that path when i get there..

That's a really healthy attitude :)
