went GREAT! Well, that's looking past the drinking of the barium...LOL  The radiologist who worked with me was 9 weeks out from Lapband sx with Dr. Moran also...small world! So, I stood upright, with the needle hanging out of my belly, while drinking the "chalk" and had "live" fluro of my swallowing.... It was really neat to watch! He filled me up to a point where you could see that the "chalk" was backing up and not flowing thru the band...then withdrew enough to let things flow smoothly again. I was able to be filled another WHOLE cc! This being my 5th fill, I'm currently @ 9cc in my 14cc AP lrg band. It's clear liq for today then a day at each stage until I'm at regular foods. Here's hoping that I will finally feel RESTRICTION! WOOH HOO!

Nancy - I'm thankful that my surgeon was willing to do this for me, without it I was still looking at another 2 months to get to this fill level. Still on liq so we'll see in another day or two how things go.

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Shelli - It's nice to know that there are options out there and your surgeon just needs to be willing to work with you. From what I hear Dr. Enochs is wonderful.....Best Wishes!
