Question About Weight Loss & Adjustment

[cduval04 7]

I know that my bariatric NP told me that for most who lose a bunch of weight, the bad usually gets looser by itself & requires a little fill. However I remember one girl from my local support group who said the opposite was true, as she lost weight her band actually got a little tighter. Now w/ my 3 yr ann'y approaching & down 85 from heaviest & 65 pre-op I am starting to notice this as well. Does anyone else share this? Requiring slight unfills w/ weight loss as opposed to the other way around? Thanks, Carlie

Hmmmm...not there yet to be able to comment. But am curious about responses to this...

I am giving this a bump b/c I still find it to be true and am curious if anyone else has had the same experience.

I am three yrs and one month post op and I do feel as though my band has tightened up on me. My last fill was done the first week in August and somewhere around November just before Thanksgiving I was seriously considering getting a small unfill but decided against it. I can eat and drink just about anything but I have to take teeny weeny bites and sip my drinks. There are some days that I'm just not hungry so a Protein Shake, Water, coffee, and tea are what I have on those days. Other days I can literally eat all day. Nibbling that is.
