Tightness Fluxuates?

Hey everyone!

I was banded 6/4/12. I currently have 8 cc's.

My question is this.. in the morning, my band feels more restricted. In the evening, it feels lose. I feel like I can eat anything (but don't, usually). Is this normal?

Thanks!!

for me this is normal. I am very restricted in the morning, and throughout the day it seems to loosen up. I usually don't even attempt to eat in the morning and lunch is usually a little iffy. once supper comes it seems much less restricted.

I'm noticing the same thing. I'm glad you posted this thread!

Yup, this is very nornal. My doc explained that as you sleep, fluid pools around the band(think how tight your jewelry is in the morning), and as you move around the fluid redistributes itself.

I've been banded for 7 months, comfortable with my restriction, loosing weight yet today my band is so tight that I'm doing liquids. Yesterday I could have eaten a horse, who knows what tomorrow will bring. It keeps us on our toes.
