For the last five years I have been going to an Ophthalmologist every six months because he wanted to keep a close eye on me because he saw what could become Glaucoma. Today was the day, he said “this is interesting,” my pressure went from 16 down to 11, which I now know is good. He told me there has been a discovery that this happens with people with Lap Bands. They don’t know why, “it’s a mystery.” He said that it happens as soon as six weeks after surgery before the patient even has time to loose much weight. Well, mystery or not, I’m happy it happened to me.

How GREAT! I'm really happy for you! :rolleyes2:

Wow. That's the best NSV I've heard on this site.

Congratulations!

Hm, interesting. I also am a Glaucoma suspect and see my opthalmogist every 6 months. I'll be interested to see what my pressure is the next time I see him once I'm banded. Thanks for posting this!!
