I had my band filled to 9 cc, after a week (it was tight and I did feel restriction)- it all of sudden got WAY WAY WAY tight. Literally 7 days later. I have no idea why it took 7 days, but the night it went on "TIGHT" mode I thought I was going to die. Throwing up or rather dry heaving all night and the next day, finally got in to have it adjusted, but I am still messed up. It is 3 days since the loosening. Went down to 7 cc. Anyways I am NOT complaining, and I love the band, but this has been major and hurt like a mother. Just sharing.

I have my band going on 4 yrs now and this happens to me all the time. Right now I had 1/4cc put in about 2 mos ago and I had very little restriction and for the past 2 weeks and this week especially I can barely get liquids down. My Dr is on vacation until next week and I will have 1/4 cc removed again. Either I have no restriction or I can hardly drink and that seems to be the way the band works, at least for some of us. I have never seemed to get to the "sweet spot" some people refer to. I wish I could because this is very frustrating.
