wnt2lose: I'm sorry you are facing this. Let's hope everything is okay and you won't even have to worry about this part! I can't tell you to relax and not worry about it, because you will anyway. I would suggest you limit your research on the internet as it can be worse than your imagination and not necessarily accurate. Write down your questions, keep them with you (in case you think of them in the bathroom!), talk to your doctor about your concerns and be sure to ask all the questions on your list (there is no such thing as a dumb question). If in doubt of anything, get a second opinion!

Yes, the band is unfilled if you would need higher nutrition, or higher calories due to the side effects of some chemotherapy. Losing too much weight, especially when ill with something like cancer can impede your recovery. (weird...before surgery you'd never think someone would not want you lose weight, much less want you to gain it)

God Bless you...let me know how you're doing.
