Does the band loosen when we lose weight?

[selenrose 0]

Seems like every time I lose weight my band also gets loose and I have to go in for a fill. I'm at a 8cc in a 10 cc band and I'm 15 lbs away from my goal. My Dr. says I do not have a leak, so I was wondering if we also lose weight around the band area. What happens when I get to a 10 in my band? Does anybody have the same issue? I would love some feedback.

Yes, it definitely gets looser as you lose weight. There is fat in the area and as it goes away the band loosens. I have a 10cc band as well but am currently in my sweet spot with 5.8cc in it. I am also about 15 pounds from goal so I'm confident that I'll never get close to capacity. I doubt that you will either. You still have 2cc to play with. That's alot.

What a great question. I will ask my Dr. when I see him.

Yes it does just like Cindy said. Mine gets loose at about 18-20 lb loss. I still can get stuck though. I have a large Ap 14 cc when I asked my Dr what if I get to that point and he told me it has only happend once and not to worry.
