question about slippage.....

[jfran 0]

If you lose weight fast and your band gets loose, is there risk of slippage?

I haven't had a fill in a while and I know that my band is loose around my stomach. I don't want to get a fill because I am able to eat normally (5-6 small meals a day) and I am satisfied and I am losing 2-3 lbs a week. If I don't get a fill am I at risk for band slippage???

Anyone know?

No. Your band will loosen, but you just need to get a fill. A slip is generally caused by being too tight or from excessive PBing, or other reasons. But, I've never heard of one happening from being too loose!! As long as you are still losing, don't get a fill.

I agree with her. Looks like you are doing great without the fill. Too lose will not cause a slip. Good luck.
