After care in general
Gastric-band aftercare consists of more than just filling or reducing the band. Regular check-ups during the first two years, at least every three months or so, are essential for the patient's safety. We advise the patient to see the medical consultant and dietician at the same time during his visit.

What can you expect of your next fill
The adjustment or fill gives the patient a feeling of greater satiety during and after a meal. However, this feeling of fullness depends also on the choice of food and drink. Some food can pass easily through the band; always ask your dietician or GP for advice.

Advice:
Eating too much or too quickly can cause vomiting. Too much food can also dilate your stomach pouch. Eat smaller portions divided over the day.

Advice:
You may need a band adjustment.
