Does the band get tighter when you loose weight? Ive had good restriction for 6 months. Now all of the sudden I am unable to keep foods or liquids down.. im going in for to have some takin out.. has anyone else experienced this?

No, in fact it usually gets looser when you lose weight. Not tighter.

Be sure to tell your doctor all your symptoms. I'm guessing he'll want to check your band.

I don't know if maybe it's this oklahoma heat wave 100 degrees plus or what? I throw everything up. Im hoping my band didn't slip.

I really hope it didn't, either. It's really important you get into your surgeon ASAP. If your band did slip, the sooner they catch it and start to treat it the better your chances of avoiding another surgery. The biggest mistake people make is putting it off, or worse, not going in for months because they don't want an unfill.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Mis is correct. Not a result of losing weight. Actually people who have had their bands a long time and have lost alot of weight usually need fills to compensate for the weight loss just to maintain. I don't want to suggest a slip, but it is possible. Not sure how long you have been experiencing this but extreme stress, hormonal shifts (think woman's time of month) or dehydration are culprits for increased restriction. Not sure if any of this applies to you but do tell your doctor about any personal changes in your life as well in case it's not a slip. Good luck hon and keep us posted

Thank you ladies for your input, I am praying that I don't have a slip.. I've been like this for about 2 weeks.. the only thing is that I haven't experienced alot of heartburn. Isn't that a sign of a slip?

It can be, but you can have a slip without heart burn.

I guess I'll find out on the 15th! Thanks again !

My doc told me that I would be really nauseated and not able to eat anything or keep liquids down if a slip had occurred, in most cases. Hopefully, you will be okay!

It was super late but I was able to keep applesauce and water down tonight!

Saw my doctor today and my band is in good shape, he removed 1.5cc I feel so much better!!
