Anyones Band Get Tighter As You Loose Weight.

My last fill was late 11/11. It seems like my band has gotten tighter in the last month. Keep in mind I have 10.9 cc's in a 11cc band. I have never had situations where I get Hard stops when eating. I would say I got restriction after my last fill. My current restriction isn't really intense but definately more than before. I don't have any reflux, vomiting, PBing, and I don't have stuck episodes. Nothing like that. Previously I would have my 3 oz solid Protein 3/4 cup veggies and some fruit (4-5 grapes etc). Now it's more like 1/2 veggies and maybe some fruit but maybe not.

I've always been a slow looser despite making realllly healthy food choices and doing a minium of 60 minutes of cardio daily. Since getting laid off in January I've upped my exercise to 1 1/2-2 hours daily. I've lost about 20 pounds. Like I said I'm a slow looser.

My weight loss has been jumpstarted in the last month.

Anyone else have the band get tighter once they've lost weight instead of looser? I don't really think it could be a slip or erosion becuase I don't have any pain and have no trouble eating. Just seems like my restriction is more like what other's describe.

It might be from exercising more....seems to me that the more I walk, when i get home i can't eat. And depending what time of the month it is....I eat more week before my monthly friend comes...lol And I am a lot tighter during my period. But i dont think your band would get tighter when you lose...thats why I am thinking maybe from exercise increase!!

Danielle, hi thanks for your response. I was exercising daily before surgery and returned to the gym on day 5. My band does get tighter at TOM.
