my sister just got\"the fill\" but she still is able to eat anything she
wants. she is still monotring what she intakes despite her worries. she is concerned because the dr did insert liquid but then he removed a little bit. how much is the correct amount and
how is it determined? she already has lost 30 lbs since april 09. she walks 3-4 days a week. plz help us to ask the dr the correct questions on her next week visit. i want my sister to be healthy. thank you for your input.
Answer 1
: Liquid saline amount which is added in to port depend upon your body weight and how much weight you want to lose. If your sister is able to eat anything she wants, it means amount of saline in port is not appropriate what she needs. Consult with your surgeon about your case study and tell me everything and ask him whether she needs another lap band fill or not.
