Lost inches from the stomach?

Ezma · May 4, 2008

I'm sure I should probably already know this but it didn't stay with me if I did. So, I'm gonna ask you guys 'cause you're the brightest of the bright. :biggrin2: My band seems so much looser now than it did at any point since my surgery and then fill. Feels like I could literally eat anything and I'm starting to do that. I've only had one fill and due for another on the 13th. Is it possible that I've lost fat deposits on my stomach and that may make the band become loose? Because I'm sure it was tighter before. Just trying to get a better handle on this whole process. Thanks.

Yes, very possible, as you lose weight it gets looser, and you need another fill. Donna

Thanks Donna. Least I don't feel like I'm going nuts now. Debating about moving up my fill date. Want to 'cause I'm afraid of eating too much and don't want to 'cause I want to eat more. LOL

I think it is very possible. I kind of felt this way after the restriction from my first fill subsided but in retrospect I think it was just the difference between how I felt right after the fill and how I felt when it subsided. If you are at a plateau as well, it can't hurt to move up your fill date. I cannot say enough about the difference between the first and second fills.

DEFINITELY move up your fill date. Whenever you feel that you're losing restriction, move it up. I made that misstake of waiting and boy I wish I was restricted after my first fill!!! I exercised like a maniac because I was taking in soooo many calories and I didn't want to gain weight.I was actually feeling ravenous and it scared me.
