How Ofter Lap-Band Adjusted?
There is no 'shouid". We need adjustments as and when fat under the band decreases. For some this happens quickly, for some slowly. Some people have a lot of internal far, some have very little. And once all the internal fat has gone, the band shouid theoretically not need adjusting.
my last fill was in 2007.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
It's totally up to you. There are no rules. My surgeon said the less tight it is, the less complications you'll have. I never had an unfill and only had 4.9ml in my 14ml band after 5 years when I revised to the Sleeve. If you're happy and not having reflux issues, able to eat and not gain weight, keep it where it is. BE happy it's not causing issues and enjoy your new healthy body.
