Hi Everyone,

Does anyone else every have their band feel really tight sometimes, and then like its not there at all other times? Quite often I will drink something and can feel my band, or eat and the food instantly feels hung up for a few minutes, then clears.(this tends to happen at night and hurts!)

Then other times I can eat almost anything, and alot,with no problem and no pain. Am I the only one?

No you are not the only one......there are other posts on here regarding this issue...people say that the weather messes with their band. I know when aunt flo is coming to visit I get tight. This thing is never the same!

Yep, I can vouch for that! Just last week I was on here moaning about the disappearance of my restriction - yet woke up yesterday morning - and bam! It was back! Bizarre!

When I saw the title to your thread, I thought, yep, I have tons of tight clothes.. But I see that's not what you meant..LOL and those are not only tight sometimes, their tight all the time.... Hello my Florida friend, I don't have much restriction at this time so there are few things that I have a hard time eating, but when I first got my band I did experience that sensation you are talking about. I get filled tomorrow, so hopefully I can finally have some restriction and start losing some of this ugly weight.

It comes and goes all of the time for me. Sonce my last fill, it is luckily here mor often than not. Maybe it just depends on the amount of fills. I am pretty sure everyone has the same problem

I am getting a fill today, so hopefully restriction WILL be there more than not!

I am really tight right now. I was filled last Friday and can't seem to eat anything of substance until around 2pm and then it is very slow and very little. I don't know if I am too tight or not. I am going to give it a few days and see h ow I am doing. I think I am getting my calories and nutrients, but I just can't eat much at once, I have to speread it out.

I am tight first thing in the morning, sometimes I can't even get in more than a few sips of coffee, then I loosen up some in the later morning, I can usually eat bandster size portions in the late afternoon, then in the later evening I tighten back up. This is varied and I can have unexpected periods of relaxation in the morning or at night, and it is subject to how I'm feeling, my monthly visitor tightens me up, colds/sinus issues tighten me up... it took some paying attention to my band habits before I realized how it was working for me, and now I plan my intake around it.
