Boy you sure nailed it....this is exactly how ive been feeling. Never thought it had anything to do with muscle tone...I had started my lapband journey at 317. Over time got all the way to 165...However, like you I was told I looked too thin and was stooping. We it wasnt so bad when I put on 10lbs. But now its more than that and I feel uncomfortable not because of the weight its how "flubby" I feel. So I believe you are right because I had decreased the amount of exercize I was doing even I too am an active person. And I tire easily. So I am truelly grateful for you insight. I believe I can now have a new approach to my situtation. As usual can always rely on a bander to get you thru....Thanks again

Thank you so much for taking the time and responding...Wasnt really sure that my thought process was on the right track. Have considering a fill, havent had one in quite some time, and was concerned that it was all in my head... I have noticed that i have a tendency to eat fast and am hungry more often. Than not eat filling foods....And I have slacked considerably on the exercise....Anyway, youve given me the motivation I needed to get a fill and refocus to what I know that has gotten me to where I am today...So again thanks...Ill check back later. Take care..

I am have a dilemma to ask all banders who have are 5 years or more post op....Is it normal that after you loose the majority of your weight that you gain some back? Had my banding in 2006. Started at 320 and made it to 165...However, it was almost too much. I got sick and in the last year have gone up to my current weight of 190...Have had numerous fills over the years and Im not sure I want another one. I also havent been exercising like i used to or should be. I find myself not being too motivated and dont know how to get myself back on track... Has anyone else been in this situation? and if so how did you resolve it? LapBand was the best thing I ever did for myself...Iam healthier and have a better life. But I dont want to feel like Im doing something to jepordize my accomplishment. Please send me any words of wisdom......
