It sounds like your doctor doesn't really know much about the Band! Ketosis is normal for low-carbers, nothing to be concerned about. When I had gestational diabetes and was low-carbing I had to test for my ketones every day, as they are not good when you are pregnant. So, unless your pregnant, I wouldn't worry!

Ketones are good!! Your body is burning fat for fuel...Don't worry about this!
Protein in the urine may mean you need to drink more water..which you should be doing anyway..

Thanks everyone for your comments...I contacted my lapband office and they said if I do not have diabetes then I really have nothing to worry about.. I checked my glucose level and it was 93 (fasting) and 96 after lunch. I think everything will be fine...glad to know my body is using up this unwanted fat. So what was stressing me is now making me!!!!!!!!
