I had lap band surgery on April 9th; 1st fill on June 6th (with NO restriction); had 2nd fill in July (WITH restriction now, YEAH)

I have noticied that my band is tight in the mornings. It seems to loosen up as the day goes on. Can someone explain why this happens or if it happens to you as well (?)

Thanks

yes, in the mornings i feel i am (tighter) and not hungry at all.

i have heard from other postings on here that happens (when at night we lay flat)......but i consider it a good thing. i do think it may loosen up

later on the day.

(i have no fills yet, just plication)

My band is tighter in a morning. I drink warm liquid (coffee) to help loosen it up. Then about 2 hour after I wake up I can eat. As the day goes on it gets looser.....come evening it can feel too loose. Plus it veries from day to day. You will learn how finical your band can be. Lol.

Mine is tons tighter in the mornings. I have a Protein shake for Breakfast every morning because I'm simply too tight and not hungry enough for actual food.

Interestingly, if I take a nap during the day, when I get up it's really tight all over again.

In stark contrast, at night I could the entire fridge if I wanted to. There's a huge difference in my band tightness from morning to evening.

Strange tightness is not very noticeable to me....
