I finally understand what people mean about the band having a mind of its own. Yesterday my band was so tight I could barely swallow Water let alone eat food. I don't know why it happened as I haven't seen my surgeon since before Christmas and haven't had a fill since October.
It was quite scary but the good thing was that I actually listened to my body and didn't try to force any food down. I stuck with fluids, tried mushies for Breakfast and was able to eat a salad, very slowly for lunch. I feel much better tonight and just want to say a big thank you to others who have shared their stories on here because you gave me the information to recognise what was going on and how to handle it.
