  1. I had lapband surgery several years ago (2008) I went regularly for visits up until the last 3 years and I just honestly had not been able to afford a dr visit. I had almost all the Fluid removed last time I went to Dr because of overfill and I was supposed to go back and get a bit more to get me back to the green zone. A lot of stuff was happening in my personal life at the time I went through a severe depression. I am just now getting around to really caring about myself again. I believe I need a fill because I do not get full very fast but I do have to eat slowly or food feels like it gets stuck in my throat. I am wanting to see if anyone else has experienced not getting a fill for years like I have and then gotten a fill. I just wonder 1. What is the experience like after not getting a fill for so many years. 2. Why do I not feel full as quickly as I did when I was in the green zone yet I still have to eat slowly or food feels stuck in my throat? (is this normal) Thank you for any answers.
