I got my first fill yesterday. My surgeon does his fill in the hospital radiology dept, and OMG that was cool!! Drinking the yucky chalky stuff was totally worth it to see what actually goes on in my banded belly! He had me take a drink, and we watched the liquid just pool at the top of the band. He said "too tight", took some saline out, and I took another drink. This time the fluid slowly ran through the stoma, and we were good! It was so awesome to see!

I've never had a fill with fluro- but it does sound cool to get to see it go through.

Cool. Glad all went well

We did the swallow thing on Wednesday, the morning after my surgery. The radiologist showed me the pictures of the band and announced, "perfectly placed." I loved that moment!

it is cool to see it when it happens....i find it amazing
