Lap Band Adjustments
- For band patients, the first adjustment of your Lap Band will be done at the 4 week visit in the office. You will not have an adjustment at your 1 week visit.
- We recommend that you see the team every 4 weeks for the first year for a weight check and to be evaluated for an adjustment.
- We will evaluate the need for additional adjustments at each follow-up appointment.
- After the first year your band can be adjusted as-needed, however we do recommend coming to our main office in Cincinnati once a year for an X-ray to check placement of the band.
- After any adjustment, if you are having issues keeping down solid food, please call and let us know!

On the day of any band adjustment, eat a light breakfast (like Carbmaster Yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese, nothing solid).
After each adjustment, you must go back to liquids for the rest of the day, pureed the following day, and then to soft solid foods for a day (or longer if necessary).
