amboyd 81 Posted December 14, 2015 When you get an answer please share. Does everyone still have to have follow up appointment still? I went for my 8 week post op on Friday and my doctor told me that was my last appointment unless I have any problems. I was expecting many more,maybe because with the lap band I was always going for adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's written me off as a "don't worry about this one" case. -sd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I go once a month for a year, and my doctor sits down and spends about 20 minutes every time talking to me about the foods I'm eating, and other concerns I have and gives me suggestions.
