They aren't kidding when they say your band will feel different when you go to a different elevation.. OMG..so we went camping this weekend up in the mountains.. and up to this point i really couldn't tell i had a band in me at all. waking up Friday morning to the crisp "COLD" mountain air i was starving and completely forgot my Band manners and wolfed down my breakfast of egg's and guess what it got stuck.. OMG that hurt.. the whole weekend i would try something different to eat some things went down no trouble other's that i had just had the day before got stuck.. it's the worst feeling in the world. .now i'm back to my normal almost sea level elevation and all that restriction has gone.. here's hoping that means i'm just one perhaps 2 fills from being where i need to be. but if your planning on a trip make sure to remember your band manners as i really learnt my lesson on how to chew and eat my food slowly.

It's so weird how some people have issues at higher elevation and some don't. I guess I'm lucky because both I've flown and been at around 9000 ft elevation and never had a problem or felt a difference.

Yes it does happen to MANY lap banders, we traveled to Lake Tahoe, California a few months ago and I could feel my band tighten as we traveled up the mountain. However, I've had my band tighten during plane flights, but not always, I guess it depends on the ebb flow of the band.
