Weird question.

Can the band get tighter as time goes by, even without a recent fill? I had a fill 5 weeks ago.

Since June 2011 I've been going every 4 weeks.

Last week, when I went for my appointment, they said no fill, which I was ok with, thinking I'm in the green zone. I've got at least 8.0 in a 10 cc band.

Since then, I have been getting stuck almost daily on the first few bites of food. I got stuck earlier today and even fluids are having a hard time going down.

Is it possible for the band to get tighter even though I haven't recently gotten any Fluid added? To me it sounds strange but maybe someone else has experienced this??

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

my band changes if i'm stressed or if i am dehydrated it gets tighter. i have had a fill kick in a wk or 2 after i got it. maybe you got stuck and its inflammed???? try liquids a day or two maybe?????

You can have swelling after a stuck episode. Try a day or two on liquids.
