A reader asks us if their weight loss is too fast since their last LapBand adjustment:
I’ve lost 10 pounds since my last fill one week ago. Is that too much?
Broken Bow, OK

Losing 10 pounds in one week sounds like a lot of weight to lose in one week. You need to make sure that you can keep your food down and aren’t having vomiting or regurgitation. In many cases, losing that much weight in one week could potentially mean you are dehydrated. Our bodies are 70% water, and I have seen cases where people have lost significant amounts of weight, in a short period of time because they couldn’t eat or drink well. If your Lap Band is too tight, you won’t be able to eat or drink properly, and you lose a lot of weight, which can potentially be unhealthy. Talk to your doctor about that.
Be sure to read the disclaimer!
