Hi, I have a question. I had the adjustable lap band surgery back in 2010 and only had one fill. We then retired and moved to New Mexico and I failed it find a doctor here to do the fills. This was my fault as I was loosing weight and then just didn't look for a doctor. Now I want to get back on tract and get a fill. Is it too late? Will I have. To start over? Any advise or. Has anyone had a similar problem? Appreciate any feed back.

it's never to late. it all depends on the doctor you see about the fills. I would imagine you would get a fill in relation to the size of your band. but every doctor is different about things. welcome back and I wish you well

I would imagine you'll have to endure a Q&A from the doctor to evaluate where you are in your journey. Just be honest and trust he/she knows what to do? Since it's been so long a fill under fluoroscopy would be your best choice if you have one? jmo

Thank you so much for your feed back. I just need to get pushed in the right direction. I am in Houston right now and will be back home Friday and will make an appointment. Wish me luck!

I did the same thing to myself... thankfully I found a local doctor and a great staff getting me back on track. I had a fill last week after we found only 4 cc in rather then 7.5 I was told by other doctor when I left him. I have to start my thinking about food all over again. wish me luck. started at350 lost 80 kept most off til married 2 years ago gained back a lot.330 starting again...
