band adjustment

how many band adjustments can you have and what is taking place with the stomach?? Is the stomach thinning why you need a fill or what?? I'm confused

When the band is placed it has a silicone center in which the doctor puts saline in. . When the Dr does fills it causes the saline to make the band tighter around the stomach so not as much food goes thru the band. As the body changes we have to keep getting fills.

check out lap band.com and there is a video that shows how the band fills. Also if you are interested in the band post on the Lap band forum

My problem is that I get restriction when I get my fill, I lose no weight so my body stays the same but as time goes by I'm back to being unrestricted. WHY??? I could understand if I had a large weight loss after my fill that band would get losser.

The restriction changes because the weight around the band changes so we lose restricition until we get to "The green Zone" or the right restriction.
