Hello, I had a lap band put in 7 years ago, I had it put in, in Nevada and moved back to Ca 5 years ago and my new primary Dr. and Insurance you have to get a refferal to see a gastric Dr., and I tried for 2 years to get one and my primary Dr. kept saying that It didnt sound like I really needed to see a Dr. for the band. Untill one day I knew there was somthing wrong and that so many years had went by with out it not being checked out, I entered the hospital and it was immediatley taken out, for no other reason then it haddent been looked at. and now I miss it and want it back. Does anyone out there know how long I would have to wait to have another put back in?

I think you should have it checked out if you feel something might be wrong, unfortunately I had to have a referral and my primary Dr. didn't think I had enough to go off of, but i knew something was wrong, my band had slipped around my esophagus and I couldnt even keep water down, we had been moving, but anyways I think it is a good idea to have it checked out and it was expensive to go out side my insurance because they want to do an upper GI and a Barium swallow and with no insurance to cover that it is expensive. Don't get me wrong and worry if you haven't seen a Doctor in awhile, I love my band and I want it back. thanks for your post.
