SO SO TIGHT! all of a sudden?

Got my fill 3 weeks ago.....then it seems all of a sudden these last 3 days i am so tight. I gurgle all day long....one cup of coffee in the morning takes me all morning to sip. I cant eat very much at all! What the heck happened? LOL!......

Morning Rose,  Let me tell you I use and still do the same thing and laugh about my band all the time...     You can ask some of the old timers I use to post all the time how "FICKLED" my dern band was...   It is just a crazy little tool. Sometimes i've had fills that have taken 2 weeks to findly hit..... Stress can make your band tight.... Did you overeat the day before and maybe your tummy is swollen.... Did you have a big meal last night and actually some stuff is still in your tummy.... Women issues can make your band feel different i've read.... All types of things... Best thing to do, just sip your water today get as much as you can in... Maybe a glass of tea etc... Try doing a liquid diet for 2-3 days and see if things go back to normal... Monitor this very closely I can tell you from experience...

Hi Dirk! Nice to meet you! Nope no big meals....this is the 3rd or 4th day of it feeling tighter than usual. I can actually hear little gurlges when i just swallow my saliva. LOL....no pain tho....I know what it feels like to be overfilled ....trust me....been there and dont ever wanna go back there!

So your band is a fickle b**ch too?  

I know just how you feel!  After my first fill, I got constant restriction - it was there all the time, I could eat the same amount all the time, I felt full after the same foods etc. etc.. Now I have my second fill (my first stopped working after about 3 1/2 months probably because of weight loss) and I never know where I am.  I have twice booked fills because I felt too loose and then cancelled them because it tightened up! I have a fill booked next Saturday and today I am so tight that I could only eat 2 small cubes of  mango at lunchtime and have been full ever since (2 1/2 hours!). I have to say this is much harder to handle than after my first fill. That all went so smoothly - i always knew in advance what I was going to be able to eat and although I showed sympathy for people who were finding it hard, I didn't  really appreciate how confusing it can be!

I've been extremely tight the last week or so.  I think in my case stress has caused it.  I can eat very little and hear the water gurgling all the way down....weird.  The band is truly fickle isn't it?
