finally - restriction !
I had my 3rd fill 3 days ago and I can tell you that today 3 mos after surgery - I actually felt like I had a band!! Could only eat half of my scrambled eggs this morning !! I received 2 more cc's . so I now have approx 6.4 in the band. They did it under fluro standing up (so as to accurately see how fast the barium goes down). I was really impressed ! Much different then my old surgeon's office, but then again my new doc believss in the lap band procedure as well as his patients. I have to drive further - but is totally worth the trip. The amount of saline that was withdrawn was not the amount that was suppose to be in there and I was told that the VG band loses a cc or so here n there. Does not make sense to me - so am just going on faith. Anyway you look at it - I have 2 more cc's when I left the office than when I arrived, and for now it is working. YEA !!

Glad that you have finally gotten restriction. This is the only part I am worried about with my choice. It can sometimes take a while to get the proper fill in the band.
