Okay Bandsters! Here's a crazy one for you!

I live in Southeast Texas where it is HOT & HUMID! I recently had three friends banded in the last three months and they have had plenty of questions for me. I have been banded for almost 4 years and I try to remember everything I went through as a newly banded person. Now I have a question "4 years" after being banded! My crazy question is:

Does anyone notice the barometric pressure changing the day to day restriction? If the barometric pressure is up, my head hurts and my band is tight. If the humidity is down I have less restriction. It's like some of my fill will enter the tubing on low pressure days and I'm less restricted. High pressure days seem to pull my entire fill into the band and I have more restriction. Crazy Huh!

Wow. There's bugger all humidity where I live. I haven't experienced that. I did go to Bali though a couple of years ago. Didn't notice anything different though. Was too freaked out about the bombs cause they went off just before we flew out! I think our body temperature might effect it though. I have days occasionally where I struggle with everything and I don't know why, but it settles. So, who knows?
