Hello everyone, I had the lap band a year ago. I am happy I have it but not very happy with the staff at my Dr's office. I feel that they have no time for me as each time I went I would pay my $40.00 copayment and talk with a PA for about five minutes and no fill or even have them look at the band . If anyone knows of a Dr. In Levittown Ny please let me know. Thank you. Mary

Hi Cat, I am so happy that you reached onderland. I know you worked hard to get there. Let me tell you I am in no hurry to get a fill any time soon. I hope you have a great trip. Please make sure that you keep in your wallet a note that will say that you have the lap band just incase. I was told this by another friend who had the band done. Take care of you safe trip, Mary

Hi Jonathan, I have not had a fill as of yet. I am having a problem as well with food getting stuck. Think it is because I have started to eat fast again. No bread no Pasta ect . going back to see the Dr on Oct 11 I will ask them what to do. Take care of you. Mary

Wow Chris good for you. I see the Dr tomorrow at 4pm. Not sure if I want a fill I too feel great now finding it hard to eat bread and that is with out a fill. I do find that I need to drink with my food how about you? Stay well. Mary

I found that if I come back at them and say... you are right I am weak so weak that I want to see my kids grow up die old. I find that works very well, Let me say I am PROUD OF YOU for taking the step's to live longer and to be well. I wish you all the best. Stay well BE HAPPY. Mary

Thank You Mary

Thank you

Hi Kathy, It took me a year to get the band do to my husbands loss of work and that meant no insurance. Once I got my insurance from my job I went a head with the op, I would say 3 day's before my surgery I was thinking can I do this is this what I want? I think we all rethink the big things in our life. The day of the surgery I was not nervous at all I mean NOT AT ALL. I think this was because I was doing this for me and only me and it was the right thing to do. Do what is in your heart if it is right for you then you will do it if not then hey you did not or are not ready. Do not let anyone push you into or out of the op just know only what YOU want matters. Good luck in what ever you choose. Stay well stay safe. Mary
