My band seems to be getting tighter as I lose weight?

Has anyone had the experience where their band seems to be getting tighter as they lose weight? The doctor told me the opposite would happen and as my stomach shrinks, the band will loosen up and I will be able to eat more.  I feel like the more weight I lose, the more restriction I have. Wierd, huh? I don't think it has slipped because I am still restricted and I never felt any tearing or pain. I have an appointment a week from thursday, for a check up (I am 10 months post op). Just wondering if anyone has had this feeling? Thanks, Patty

Patty, Well that sounds like an added bonus and I would take advantage of it while I could. I am not really too familiar with the band and its affects because I had RNY. Come back and tell us how the doc apt. goes. Christine
