I haven't had a fill since about 2.5 months because I was at "restriction" however, in the past 2-3 weeks I've noticed that it's been getting tighter. It's been getting harder for me to hold down any food Is this possible? My band got tighter within time? I have seen the doctor though withink this time and I've been ok but I know I'm at the point where I feel they have to get some out so I can "tolerate" food. Anybody had this problem and does anyone know why?

Call your doc just to be on the safe side. That can be a sign the band slipped. You are probably just fine, but I'd make the call just to be sure.

After I reached 6cc's - each time I would lose ten pounds I had to have 1 cc taken out because I was too tight....I know - that is a little backwards but that is how it worked wth me too.

I got a fill and then nearly 5 weeks later had to go for an unfill because I got too tight all of a suddan. It is weird but happens sometimes. It can be because of stress etc.

Thanks everyone! I did go to the dorctor and took out 1 cc. Not sure why my band got tight. She said perhaps stress, or something got stuck in my bad.. who knows. I feel much better. I started to feel dehydrated. That is not a good feeling. But the good news is that I lost 20 lbs. in 1 month so I have 10 lbs. more to lose. So excited.!!!! Finally, seeing the results I wanted from the lap band.

These posts have been so helpful... I thought it was weird that over time I would become too full (w/o a band adjustment) but according to some of you, that's what was happening. I have felt miserable for two weeks. I have an appointment tomorrow and I hope they take something out.

I know, I was so confused this last time because I hadn't gotten a fill in like three months. But now I know!!! We just have to becareful. My doctor also told me that during your mentrual period it might get a little bit tighter because of the Water gain. Good luck everyone and let's keep loosing lbs. until we reach our goal.!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
