So I haven't been to my lap band doctor in 1 1/2 to 2 years, and I am in need of a fill, but I'm nervous. I have gained around 12 lbs. since I last saw him so I really need to go back, but I don't want to get yelled at . The other problem is he moved offices so it was 40 miles away from me, which is hard to get off work half a day just to go get a fill. But he has now moved back to his old location which isn't even 10 miles away so that's a good thing. I guess I just need advice on what to do....

Just go. He's not going to yell at you. You need an adjustment and then hopefully you'll start losing again.

The band only works when it's adjusted properly and I owe myself to keep it working optimally -- you, too! And you're the customer. YOU are in charge of your body and your band. 12 pounds? Meh, you can do this no problem but you are in charge. Throw your shoulders back and get in there ASAP.

JJ... Just do it. You are worth it!!!

Thank you. I don't know why they filed it on my insurance. I told them up front I was self pay, and all my paperwork had self pay on it. I guess I'll see how it goes in the morning.

That is only when you are eating solid food. You need to drink drink and drink some more. Keep sipping all day.
