How often do you go in to see your Dr?? I've been going every two weeks for weigh in and to see if I need a fill which I haven't.needed yet I'm planning on going every two weeks for fills/weigh in's until I'm in the green even if I dint get fluid in my band every time.. Just curious how everyone else had done it??!

i go once a month for my monthly follow ups

and my clinic already set up my appts for the next year

not sure about everyone else and their doctors

My doc has come in every 4 weeks whether I need a fill or not. He said that will be the case for at least the first year after surgery.

I'm not sure what happens after 1 year, however considering my year mark is coming up in a couple months I guess I'm about to find out.

My Dr is two almost three hours away and they come to my town every two weeks.so I figure if they are here I might as well See them since all my appointments.for the.first year are included in my $24000 surgery which I just got the bill for today and it says there was a hernia repair billed but I've never been told he did this nor did they ever mention anything about a.hernia. I had no signs or symptoms of having a hernia???? Is this normal to do something and bill for something that's never been mentioned or told to me??

i am not sure but my dr repaired the hernia also

i had no idea until i woke up.

If I have a hernia it will be repaired as well but wont cost me any more than the initial surgery fee of $16,000.

I go monthly too, but I think most importantly your going. Best wishes!

The first 6 mths or so, I went every 6 weeks. Then, it was like every 3-4 mths. After the first year, I didn't see him for over a yr. I was at great restriciton and didn't need to see him. This past year, however, I began having problems with my band, I've seen him about 6x. Haven't been there for about 3 mths. My dr office requires an every year visit for eternity, I guess. My drs office is also 3 hrs away, so it's an all day event!
