Anyone's band get tighter as you lose more weight?



Recommended Posts

My band seems to get tighter with weight loss.;) I had to go back again today after several days of pb'ing. This morning my coffee wasn't even staying down so back I went.:D It's frustrating because I keep having less and less in my band...I'm down to 2 cc's...he took out .5 today.:phanvan Anyway, I recently lost 5 lbs and it seems like when I lose my band gets tighter. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Wow, that is definitely unusual. Mine gets looser as I lose weight. The only time mine gets a little tighter is when it is that time of the month or if I am under stress.

Yes, I think it is the other way round, the more you loose, the less-tight your band feels (that's why we need to go for another fill every now and then). Maybe the reason you are PBing has nothing to do with what you feel as if the band is getting tighter, I mean, you surely feel as if the band is getting tighter but in fact the reason is something else and that's why you have those PBs.

Try calling your doctor and see what he thinks about that.

Hope you'll feel better soon,

I have had to get a little unfill twice in the last year after about seven weeks from fill and loses. My doctor had no clue what caused it to get tighter after so long and after loses and I was'nt having pb's.Almost to goal tho so yes it has happened. The first time I tried to wait it out but it just kept getting tighter to the point of where liquids would'nt go down so the second time it happened I did'nt wait at all before I had a very small unfill.;)

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
