Hi

For my surgeon, now I see him every 3 months.  One more time at my one year surgiversary and then I think I only have to see him annually.   I should add...I'll miss my surgeon visits...I really enjoy my visits with him.

Ms. Vic hit the nail on the head with visits - but of course each Doctor is different.

It also depends on which operation you choose. A band patient could see the Doctor more frequently due to follow-up visits after each fill.

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Once you get past the 1st year my surgeon requires bloodwork and visits 2 times a year.

Absolutely!!! I see him every three or four months, as well as every month at our suppor group meetings..




14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey.  I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once.  I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.
