Ok well I have my surgeon who performed my lapband surgery on the 19th of this month I have a follow up to remove my staples on the 25 th of this month here's the question is she also my pcp or do I have to pick one from my insurance provider for the fills and aftercare if so what type of aftercare why can't my surgeon do aftercare or is that not her job ? Who will do fills ? I'm lost sorry if I'm sounding dumb or not making sense ! But what does pcp do if he would know anything about after are for lapband I think the surgeon would have the best knowledge??? Help
