Fixitgirl 0 Posted July 26, 2011 I have been banded for 1 1/2 years. My last adjustment was about 3 months ago and I have been doing great. Then about 3 weeks ago I started getting the worst heartburn I figured I need to change a food or get it checked out then this week my restriction seems to be much less than what it had been but the heartburn is better. I am so worried that something is wrong. I know that sometimes during a month I have a little less restriction but I am worried that my restriction is not coming back. Has this ever happen to anyone?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted July 27, 2011 I think this is pretty normal. I had a fill about 3 months ago and though I had entered the green zone. In the last 3 weeks I def. think I have gotten tighter. Remember the band is around muscle. So if you're stressed the muscle will tighten. The band is not an exact science. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trish151 33 Posted July 30, 2011 I can tell the days I do certain exercises that my band gets a lot tighter and when I don't exercise for a day, the next day it is loser. I have just been trying to trick it when it is too lose by going and riding my bike for an hour. It always tightens back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
