Thank you for your reply. It is weird that the band suddenly decides to tighten. I'm just glad to know I am not the only person this has happened to!

Has anyone out there had problems with your band tightening suddenly? This has happened to me about 4 times since I was banded Nov. 2008. I can be going along just fine and for some reason, I will feel tighter and tighter until I can't even get Water down. Then I have to have it loosened and I don't lose weight. I've heard some people say that stress causes this or PMS (sorry guys), but I haven't been able to identify a pattern. Has anyone else had this happen multiple times? It is starting to feel like I can't lose weight unless I am unable to eat anything! It's pretty frustrating and I am worried that this will continue to be a problem. Does anyone have suggestions/solutions?
