Band getting to loose



Recommended Posts

Hello. The last two fills i've had, my Dr. told me my band got really loose. He needed to add 2cc's. He wants to check me again in 3 weeks, to make sure nothing is wrong with my band.

Has anyone experienced this??????

IMO, a band cannot get tighter or looser on it's own, at least nothing that would be noticeable.......It is a constant, and I believe there are other things happening, and the easiest way to describe it would be to call it tight or loose....

I am very tight early in the morning....cannot eat anything solid until closer to lunch, and by dinner things are loose....

Did my band actually get tight over night and looser as the day went along? I don't think so, but it an easy way to describe something else that is going on, that I have learned to understand......

Another one is "Vomiting"...the band, getting stuck or eating too fast to allow it to pass the band, will not cause one vomit...of course using the term vomiting is easier for everyone to get the idea across....

Yes they have and usually it's a defective port, tubing or a leak somewhere between. I imagine that's why he's concerned.

First, I don't mean to offend you but posting within this topic is considered hi-jacking. No worries, seems like many do it but you'll get more advice and more people will see your dilemma if you start your own thread/topic. There are only 3 people who follow this thread and if you start a new topic hundreds will see your post and offer advice.

Now to your question? Sounds like you're either too tight and also sounds like your band may have slipped. See that doctor asap!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
