My last fill was late 11/11. It seems like my band has gotten tighter in the last month. Keep in mind I have 10.9 cc's in a 11cc band. I have never had situations where I get Hard stops when eating. I would say I got restriction after my last fill. My current restriction isn't really intense but definately more than before. I don't have any reflux, vomiting, PBing, and I don't have stuck episodes. Nothing like that. Previously I would have my 3 oz solid Protein 3/4 cup veggies and some fruit (4-5 grapes etc). Now it's more like 1/2 veggies and maybe some fruit but maybe not.
I've always been a slow looser despite making realllly healthy food choices and doing a minium of 60 minutes of cardio daily. Since getting laid off in January I've upped my exercise to 1 1/2-2 hours daily. I've lost about 20 pounds. Like I said I'm a slow looser.
My weight loss has been jumpstarted in the last month.
Anyone else have the band get tighter once they've lost weight instead of looser? I don't really think it could be a slip or erosion becuase I don't have any pain and have no trouble eating. Just seems like my restriction is more like what other's describe.
