Wow! I had my lap band done in May of 2010 and I have only had 2 fills. Now I know why I am gaining my weight back! Every time I make an appointment my Dr cancels and I have to reschedule over and over so then I got frustrated and gave up! I was suppose to go in on December 28th and wouldn't you know... 2 hrs before my appointment he called and cancelled again! I now know that I need fills more often. i was down to 176 and am now up to 195. I WILL NOT hit that 200lb mark!

I am not a Dr. but I think that you are just swollen from the surgery. Give it about a week and it should start falling off. If nothing happens by then I guess I would give my Dr a call and make sure everything is where it should be. Good luck!
