This happened to me too. My last fill was in November. Long about April I started having PBing issues while eating the same things I'd been eating. In June I went in and had .3cc's of Fluid removed. I've been fine since.

How funny you should ask this, I am experiencing this currently. I can't even eat oatmeal right now. I tried several times to eat yesterday and nothing would go through except liquids. I am just going to stick to liquid for a while and see what happens.

Sometimes the band can feel tighter because food (especially meat/chicken/bread) can get stuck and will not digest. What helped me was to have my band "released" slightly and all was well again. If this does not work and you are still tight, consult your Dr again as you may need a Gastroscope or Barium Drink to see what's going on. Eg. Band erosion or slippage. But it's usually because a bit of food is stuck. Stress and time of day also effects what can go down. Well for me anyway.
