Hello all I have some questions about the different band sizes. I understand there are 2 bands, a 4cc and a 9 or 10cc. So, if a person has the larger band does it take more fills to get to the "right" restriction? If a person has the smaller band do they fill restriction right away? I read Dr. Ortiz says a woman should only need 2 fills? With a larger band too? And my next question to any diabetics out there. Did you immediately stop taking your meds? Did your blood sugars drop out? Or was it lowered over time? I get banded Oct 2nd and just keep thinking up all these questions Thanks Susan

Glad to hear all is well and your doing wonderful! I am jealous! I get banded Oct 2nd and wish it was yesterday. I am so ready. Susan

Finally after what seems like forever. My big day is 10-2-08 and I'm so excited. Anyone else scheduled for surgery that day?
