Ultra Tight for no reason?

[band2sleeveinNoVA 5]

I was banded March 5, 2010 and have had tremendous success (-90 lbs)... around December when my bad was at approximately 3.8cc I experienced pain like never before a week after a fill, I suffered through it, convinced it wasn't because I was too tight (the pain was in my stomach not chest discomfort like I normally had experienced when "stuck") and eventually had some taken out at the end of the month, I waited another 5 weeks and had .3cc put in, everything was good to go for another 5 weeks. In March I had a .3cc fill and for 4 weeks all was well, I could tell I didn't need a fill at my next appt so I canceled it - 2 days later I was in pain, stuck on chicken, Water wouldn't go down and had .2cc taken out.

For the past several weeks I've been hating life, I was tight and having some reflux (maybe?) issues, heart burn more or less and I've never had that - then the last 2 weeks I could eat ANYTHING, I don't eat bread but I could have I'm sure - all of a sudden on Monday I noticed I was having a lot of restriction, same thing yesterday, I could feel everything going thru, with minimal pain but it wasn't fun. I woke up with a mouthful of acid in the middle of the night and this morning I can drink liquids but again I feel it going all the way down.

I didn't eat anything differently or do anything abnormal - anyone else ever experience this crazy swing from seemingly wide open to crazy tight?

It can be related to a lot of things. For women, monthly cycles (even if you don't have a period) will still contribute, most women experience a week or more when they are tighter than other times. It could be from allergies, a slight inflammation reaction. Could be swelling from acid reflux (take something like Prilosec OTC for 1-6 months to retrain your stomach to produce less acid).

Monitor what you're eating, your weight, and how you feel each day for three months and you'll see a pattern.
