Hello,

I had the SAGB band placed in mexico before USDA approval, i was told it took a special fill solution, and i see that the realize band uses normal salene.

I had the band placed in 2004, does anyone know if this band can be fulled with Normal salene also?

wow...i dont know why dont you post to dr.curry. I wouldnt think so because the sagb is the realize band or at least thats what the research i found was...but just to be on the safe side ask dr.curry...he would probably know the answer.

so have you not had any fills since placed?

As far as I know the SAGB has always been filled with saline. The Midband requires isotonic contrast medium.
