WHERE??????????????? PLEASE SOMEONE TAKE THEM OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I can eat, not alot!!! I can drink!

I have lost weight, I am at my lowest of 170!!!

Just kidding, silly... seeing your belly like that is cute. I can see all your guts n' junk!

SHEESH.........I was nervous!! How are u feeling? Is the wound totally healed?

Hi everyone. I asked my doctor about fills and how much is a good amount and I told him about how some people get more than others and he told me that the amount of fill has a lot to do with the type and size of your personal band. Some peoples bands are larger in diameter and need more to fill. Brands other than inamed run differently in size as will. I have a 10cc inamed band and I have just under 2cc's filled and I am really tight.

The radiologist told me that my opening was only about 1 mm big. I was very tight! Barium is very thick and that was just 1 little drink, more than a sip.

WOW Kelly- your tight & you swallowed-Every Guys fantasy. I apologize for those faint at heart! But I couldn't resist! LOL LOLOl LOL

Okay, even I laughed at that...good one Christina!

Oh that was too funny lol lol

That was funny! Where is the pic?

NEVERMIND! I have newbie syndrome.

Its good to have the pics aint it

ive got both of mine that i had done at different fills and its like a work in progress watching the change of tightness in the band as the barium goes through.

must admit though i never thought they would scan in being xrays.

Thanks for sharing

love tracey

Pretty cool pics. It is very interesting to see the barium go through. Great diagnostic tool.

Wow I'm just seeing this post for the first time.

I just posted my barium swallow pics a few days ago thinking It's good to show newbies what the band looks like inside, and you have.

You look about as tight as I feel. Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing Kelly. I got to see those types of pictures when i was in the hospital. They did that before releasing me. I was like how cool.

Thanks for sharing Kelly. You have less of a fill than me but your band seems a lot tighter. How much can you eat? Do you find your band tighter in the morning?

I got 1.5 last week and the band is very tight in the morning. All I can do is a cup of coffee for a few hours.

Kelly that is the most awesome picture, I forwarded a copy to my mother who was banded Thursday. How do you eat anything? OMG, it looks like food would never get through there. I got a fill Wednesday, and I'll probably have to eat soup for the next year, LOL. Thanks for sharing.
