Recommended Posts

So do any of you think your band loosens as you lose weight?

No doubt...ever see someones inside??? (an obese person)

Visceral fat is body fat that's stored within the abdominal cavity around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.

If you're loosing weight, hopefully it is this fat that can do the most harm....

So yes, the band can become looser if the fat is disappearing.

Loosing weight and BMI's are fine...but it is the Fat that one must get rid of.

So look at the positive side...if you're loosing weight and your band is getting looser as you do it, it is because you are getting rid of that internal fat that can surely kill you.

Curious subject

I'm not sure a fixed object around a narrow tube can change too much.. I get the surrounding fat can diminish, but I'm not clear the band itself loosens.

I am careful flying because pressure changes affect me for a few hours, .. Not clear that is the same issue.

Would love to read more opinions⭐️

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
