Can you take Glucomannan after Lap Band Surgery?

I am a year and half out from having lap band surgery and only lost 46 lbs and am now gaining weight, almost doesnt even seem like I had it done. I honestly have issues with feeling full, I think I may have some genetic issues as well that this surgery did not fix. So am wondering is some type of fiber fill pill will help with the fullness and get me back on track. Anyone have experience with this? I have heard to not take the capsules but to dump the power on food as it makes you feel fuller as you eat. I drink more than enough water most of the time 5-6 glasses a day.
 
I am no expert on the subject but there are many people who have had lap band surgery who later convert to a gastric bypass, because there are problems with the lap band like constant adjustments and the band cutting into the stomach plus gaining weight back.. Many surgeons no longer do the lap band.

I would suggest talking to a Bariatric Surgeon of Excellence and have him check out your band to see if it needs adjusting or any other problems with it.

Good Luck!
