Hey,
I was just banded on 4/16 and would love to have some more people who have been through this process for support. I am 28, Mom of a 3.5 year old, and married for almost 3 years. I am also on myfitnesspal if you want to add me. Thanks!

I think the heat may have some play in our bands among with hydration issues. Laing down also makes my band tighter. It's 98 degrees in western Colorado earlier today, I'm also ready to start my period. So you can only imagine that my band and body isn't feeling great. Today I has a cup of coffee, white chicken chili, three tortilla chips, and a small bowl of frozen yogurt. For dinner...I just don't feel like eating. I had a bite of gouda cheese and lots of crystal light...not a great menu today. Tomorrow I'll do Protein drink and a brisk walk really early....ugghhhhhh. I don't Luke this "dry" heat...still hot!

The heat alone doesnt affect my band but if its hot and i dont stay on top of drinking: hydration plays a huge factor . When you dehydrate it causes the stomach to swell causing the band to be tighter . In the summer heat yall you have got to make drinking your water a must !!!!! A well hydrated banster is a happy banster .

I am only a little two months post op and I've got 6 cc's in an 11cc band. We had a couple of days heatwave here in the northeast. I didn't notice any real difference...
