Band tightens some days

I'm having some issues and would like input. I haven't had a fill for months. Most days I have no problem eating but then there are several days that my band gets so tight I can only drink. If I try to eat on those days I get sick. I've also noticed since I've had the band mornings and evenings my band gets tight making it difficult to eat solid food. Has any body had these issues? Any recommendations? I work in stressful corporate America and I know stress can cause tightens. I just don't understand why this keeps occurring.

I understand that weather change can affect it. Do you wake it up with something hot in the morning?

No I don't. Hadn't heard that I will give it a try

I drink something hot like tea or coffee before every meal that helps a lot, I have the same problem with my band tightening some days you just have to get used to it and learn to eat again,theirs days when you can eat whatever and then theirs other days when you can only eat soft mushy foods and weather does affect it a lot.

ive been experiencing the same thing. I haven't had a fill for months and up until the last week I was able to eat with little to no problems. Now everything I eat gets stuck even yogurt which has always been easy for me. I've been very stressed out lately recently was laid off, argument with the bf, and worried about money.. i'm wondering if stress does play a big part in all of this. Will the band eventually loosen up or should I have some fluid removed until I get my emotions under control? I have an appointment to see my dr on Wednesday which i'll certainly talk to him about it then. Just would like some input.
