Band getting to loose

[jakki14 36]

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!!
