  1. Hey all, I'm new to the board (banded in late 08). The past few adjustments I've gone in for have put the band in what I think is the most appropriate tightness and for the most part, it works fine. I can only eat small portions at a time, however sometimes I run into very strange inconsistencies. For example, every now and then I'll have trouble getting down liquids, this usually happens in the mornings. Most recently, I went to sleep after having a glass of milk, it went down fine. Upon waking up, I tried to drink a glass of milk, and it would not go down. This happens about once every two weeks and lasts for a few days (where I usually just drink Protein shakes until it wears off). Is this normal? The only time I've had any degree of consistency with my band was when it was far too loose and I could eat almost anything I want.
