I'm so confused!!
Your dietician should stick to her own job and leave medical advice to the docs! My surgeons group doesn't even want to do bands anymore because they are so ineffective and they are finding that nearly 1/4 of all patients NEVER get restriction no matter how full they are. I was one of those, only felt restriction when I was so tight it caused reflux, heartburn and misery for months. I got so sick of spitting up mucus even when I was almost empty so I had it completely emptied a few months ago. I don't care if I never loose another pound I'm just so happy to not be in misery all day and night! I wouldn't wish the band on satan himself, it's that awful! Check out the revision forum, failed lapband forum and the VSG forum you will see all the negatives of the band!
