My Surgeon is very interested in on-going long-term follow-up. I do not see a Nurse or PA. The initial fee I paid him covers my ongoing care as long as he still practices medicine. He is a Lap Band patient himself and understands the need for ongoing long-term care. He was very insistant that when I reach the point of regaining some weight (he says everyone does at some point) that we work very closely together... he strongly feels that the close follow-up results in better longterm outcomes for us. This is one reason why I chose him to be my surgeon. He says the body at some point will in fact start to hold on to calories after I reach my goal and that is when he wants to be sure he is there to adjust the band to limit and address that. Right now I am having throat spasms four weeks post-op...all the time. Very uncomfortable! Since I have had two throat surgeries there is nothing to do but live with feeling choked I guess. That is the only complaint except for constant gas...both up and down... never have I had so much gas. Does that settle down and decrease over time?
