Check-ups after lap-band surgery are an important part of the follow-up. Many physicians see their patients weekly or biweekly during the first month and every four to 12 weeks for the first year. Adjustments may be made during some of the visits. It is normal for follow-up visits to be scheduled every three to six months during the second and third year following surgery.
