Band fills

I was wondering if any banders out there could tell me if the Hospital group do their band fills with or without xray??
 
Yes, both

Gastric Band Surgery at The Hospital Group UK: Lapband Surgery Clinics, Prices and Information

Q: How is the band adjusted?

Adjustments are mainly carried out by our specialist nurses at your nearest clinic. A fine needle is passed through the skin into the access port to add or subtract saline. Local anaesthesia may or may not be needed. This process usually takes only a few minutes. Most patients say it is almost painless. We can also adjust the gastric band under X-Ray if required.
 
Hi Julieann - I had my first band fill under x-ray with The Hospital Group. Although they arranged the appointment with me I had it at another hospital near there.

As I have a fair way to travel, I try to book appointments with the dietician and band fill team on the same day; especially with the price of petrol and working full time.

Any further band fills will be done at the Hospital Group; only the first is done by x-ray somewhere else.



Hope this helps hun x


Love Kat x
