Knowing When to Adjust Your LAP-BAND

This is very much a joint decision. You will know if you are still hungry, if you are eating too easily and maybe too big a volume, and you will sense that you are not losing weight fast enough. We will be asking you about hunger, appetite, volume and type of food and presence of symptoms such a vomiting or heart-burn which could indicate that you are in the yellow or red zones rather than the green zone. We will measure your weight and look at how much you have lost since the last visit. We will also be looking at your overall rate of weight loss.
