Omg Help!! I just got my first fill last week plus I had some fluid put in at the time of surgery...so now I have 3 1/2 ccs in my band...why do I feel so tight in the morning at my first meal but than at night I feel like I have no restriction!!??

It happens. Some people feel a lot more restriction in the mornings and have to drink a hot/warm Fluid to loosen up some.

Thanks!! I'm going to drink something warm tomorrow morning hopefully it'll work!

i have a small cup of black coffee first thing. it always works well for me. Ive got 3 1/2 cc's in my band and im five months post op nearly. Im due for another small fill in a few weeks. I had to have 1/2 cc taken out about six weeks ago.... im not sure how much i will be able to tolerate in my band either. everyone is different. i know that if i even have a small fill im tight for at least two weeks afterwoods...and not only at breakfast time.

My doc said its because fliud settles around the band overnight, and it causes it to be tighter. As we move around thru the day, so does the fluid. I drink coffee brfore eating breakfast, and only room temp water later. No worries, this is quite the norm.
