OMG that is too funny. I had my lap band filled yesterday and it had been a long time since i saw dr. due to no insurance. My surgery was in 2009 too. I've lost only 12lbs. I had 4cc but could eat anything. My doctor used an ultrasound to find the position. It was some what uncomfortable. It is tight now and im loving it.

I went to see the doctor and he would not fill my band. I have not seen him I'm over a year and I'm ready to move forward. I gained the weight back. He said there is 4.5cc already. To watch my eating and come back in one to two months. I'm cash paying so that was a waist. Plus I went to him for help. If I could do it I would of. I want to change surgeon. I called office m anager and no reply. I'm ready to start asap. I bought my shakes and vitamins. Family supporting me. And dr. Denied me. WhY? I feel desperate.

I got the Lap Band 4 years ago. I went through a traumatic situation right after. Then shortly began a new career that is very intense. Shortly after that began working the night shift for 5-6 nights, 12hr shifts. It's all been so much and just adjusting has kept me from seeing doctor and focusing on losing weight. I made appt for 7/18 and can't wait to tell doctor to lets move foward. He refused to fill me in the past due to the heavy drinking I was doing. I have stopped and ready. But where do I start?

Thank you. You helped me feel encouraged. Right now in life I can say my number one reason to really want to lose weight at this time in my life is health. I could not say that a few years ago. So ok, I will start there. I just quit drinking alcohol a few days ago because my body can't do it anymore and I feel the best in a long time. Everyone tells me I look so refreshed. The calories i got from 1-2 bottles of wine a day was outrages. It's going to be a hard road because that was a routine i did after work. Working night shift has also taken a toll on my body. Beginning Sept i have switched to day shift although I will take a huge money cut.But my health is suffering with high blood pressure and sleep apnea. You are the first person to even discuss all this with. Thank you. I feel I just released a load. I need support so bad or I'm going to dye. Thank you
