An overly tight band is not good, however lets qualify this. If you find it does take some time in the morning like at 6am, (a glass of water over 5 minutes) this is not uncommon. However if you are struggling to consume fluids all day long, this is not correct and you need to go back to the clinic asap, to remove some fluid.

I am sure that the doctors were just wanting to get you started by feeling restricted.

Good luck

Dear Anita,

Boy that is bad luck. I must say having seen thousands of people with the band, this level of complication I have not seen. The weight gain you have experienced may be due to the frustration and feeling let down by the whole process. I would hope that your Dr is giving some extra TLC. Keep at it and be extra patient until the process gets started. IN the mean time gain some control back in your life by focusing on what you can have control over. I think being active does wonders for your mind set, that includes fresh air.

Good luck
