what could happen if I never seen a dr after banded? What's the worse? Can you become I'll?

Hi I got banded June 11, 2011.I was banded in California and moved to Dallas,Tx two wks later. With that said I have not been for a post op appt. Because my present insurance not excepted here. So I have not been able to afford to pay to see a dr. Since my surgery I have developed high blood pressure, unsure what to do. Anybody have helpful info.

Thx for that info.

Sunshyne, please take some time to read lots on here and try the lapband site also. I see you were banded recently and I wish your dr would have taken the time to educate you on this information.

You'll typically get a fill every 4-6 weeks (depending on your dr and weight loss) until you've lost the excess weight. Then you'll go yearly and for any maintenance after that forever. It doesn't mean you'll need fills every time, but to check on progress and how you're doing with your band. Fills do not run out (if they do, there is a problem). Fills may need to be adjusted for various reasons and depending on where you're at in your weight loss.

do you get fills forever. And if not,why. Because the fill run out. Right, every month.

How often and long do you get fills with lapband.

Hi I had my surgery 5/31/11 in California my insurance paid for everything. Then I move a week later to Texas and can't find a dr that except my insurance I have not seen a dr for a

my first fill at all. I am now eating and gaining more. Plz help.. I have Medicaid insurance.
