It's not a perfect tool. I hate this.

Paul,

Glad your feeling some relief......Hang in there...

Kel

Not that this may solve anything, but...

Things that can cause a band to tighten:

-Stress
-Dehydration
-Swelling from overeating earlier in the day and not giving rest
-Carbonated drinks

I hope they can help you.... the band is a fickle tool sometimes, but like any other surgery...

Good luck my friend.
