I have noticed that since it has been getting really hot this summer, that I can not eat the foods I normally can on a cooler day, especially towards the end of the day. One day, I can eat chicken fine, the next, I may get a bite or two down, then it gets stuck. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the heat, but would like to hear if this has happened to anyone else. I really haven't had much of an issue with many types of food options so far, except bread and sometimes beef and my band is only at 5cc's.

The heat does affect the band! I actually have to go for my first defill today. I know I need it 100% but I'm still nervous about losing control. Yikes!!!

I think it definatly can get tighter because of the heat.

I agree 100%. It may have as much to do with dehydration as the actual air temperature, but my band is definitely much tighter than it was before it got so hot.

I can speak for me YES YES YESJust got some taken out today

Yes, heat effects my band. I love it because I was not getting much restrictions before and was using will power. The extra tighten is helping me control my diet better.

I was thinking the same thing "Lose 100" Although it sucks when you go out to a nice dinner you have been looking forward to and you can't eat it. It has been a day to day thing lately, but I'm getting closer to my goal.

We went to dinn

We went to dinner at my favorite restaurant last week. All I had was a cup of hot tea. That did not bother me at all. I just enjoyed being out and socializing.

Definitely!! The hotter it gets the tighter I feel my band!! But I'm loving it!!

I think the heat does effect my band. I live in Virginia and it's been so hot and muggy the past couple of weeks. Some days it's hard to keep liquids down.

Same here I live in chicago and this heat and my band are not getting along..but i'm taking full advantage!

Me too! 16 months out.....I'm really having a hell of a time right now between the heat & stress @ work.....I'm really struggling, w/ eating solids. I was fine & in the green zone. Ready for my band to calm down

I'm going for an unfill also. Ever since it's really heated up I'm super tight!

This has me wondering...I never noticed any extra tightness because of the heat...maybe because I live in Houston Texas and I'm used to the heat and humidity? Was banded last June and really can't feel any difference with the weather..... Not saying it doesn't happen, just that I haven't noticed it with my band. I plan on asking when I go for my next fill in August.
