So do any of you think your band loosens as you lose weight?

No doubt...ever see someones inside??? (an obese person)

Visceral fat is body fat that's stored within the abdominal cavity around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.

If you're loosing weight, hopefully it is this fat that can do the most harm....

So yes, the band can become looser if the fat is disappearing.

Loosing weight and BMI's are fine...but it is the Fat that one must get rid of.

So look at the positive side...if you're loosing weight and your band is getting looser as you do it, it is because you are getting rid of that internal fat that can surely kill you.

Curious subject

I'm not sure a fixed object around a narrow tube can change too much.. I get the surrounding fat can diminish, but I'm not clear the band itself loosens.

I am careful flying because pressure changes affect me for a few hours, .. Not clear that is the same issue.

Would love to read more opinions⭐️

      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! 😞
