Hello all! I've been banded for about 8mths now, whew it has been a journey (trial and error). About 3 days ago I began to feel tight and not have much of an appetite. Liquids stay down just fine but solid foods not so much. There's been no change, but the weather has got cooler. I live in TX and this is our first cold snap. Is the band affected by weather, has anyone else had this issue? Just curious

I've not experienced this, however considering hot fluids (like coffee or tea) seem to make the band feel looser and food go down easier after drinking them, it would make sense that for some people the cold would make their bands tighter.

Thanks for the response!

My band always tightens up in the cold weather !

I have not noticed a seasonal difference in my band.

I'm from Colorado, a cold front coming in...will let yah know if cold wreathed affects band. I think any elevation or weather change can affect the band along with viruses and colds, salt intake, time of month, travel, stress, among many things.

Anything & everything can effect the band and it is different for each of use. My band keeps me on my toes....I never know what each day will bring.

I like my band looser rather than tighter and I have gotten unfills before for the very reason you mention. If you are uncomfortable call you doctor and have a little take out. You can always put it back in a few weeks. That is what I would do.

Best wishes & bee warm!!

Thank you guys!!!!

I'm in Dallas and the colder weather is bringing about a slightly tighter for for me also....

Great to know I'm not the only one. Ill be in Dallas this weekend go cowboys! Lol hope we beat the saints

My band responds to EVERYTHING! Temp changes, time of day, allergies and my emotions. Also, dropping 66 lbs. I am often colder than anyone else.

And yes How bout dem COWBOYS!

My band changes with hot and cold temps. I am in Wisconsin. Last summer when we were near 100 degrees I had to get some taken out. No issues until yesterday when were in single digits. I need to go today to have some taken out, can't even keep water down! However, I am sick with a "cold" (flu? virus? - lots of mucus and drainage) so that could also be playing a role???
