I’m desperate need of a fill, it has been 8 months since last fill and I haven’t lost a pound, lucky I havn’t gained a pound either, please help, I have insurance and it does cover any additional treatment, I would like to set up a follow up appointment ASAP.

Please help

Hello nancy,
It is normal that during the first fills you dont feel too much change.
You have to know and you fill doctor also the size of the lap band’s balloon in order for him to know how many cc’s he should put in.
If is a Realize band i start with 3.5 cc’s. Allergan has several models with different ballons so you have to know which band you carrie on.
I hope this fill with do the job.
Let us know
Dr. Arturo
