Is It My Imagination???

Or did my band get tighter almost three weeks after my last fill? I'm scheduled for another full Tuesday because I thought I needed it but the last 3 days have been green zone all the way..

Apparently this can happen, no idea why but lots of people that have said it has happened to them.

You can retain Water hormones all kind of stuff. It will most likely loosen back up. If you gain it tightens too

Yes! It has happened to me. Since the first week of fill I usually stay on the three days of full liquids, then gradually regular foods. Between retaining Water, I have often felt more restricted later down the road thinking I needed another fill when I actually was way tight from the full I had earlier. I've learned to take it slow and try to listen to my body.

Banded on 4-2-12 had my first fill 4weeks ago. All weekend I really can't eat anything without getting stuck or vomiting. I have had a few stuck episodes but nothing that has continued like this. I have felt restriction but now it seems nothing solid will digest. Could it be irritated and everything is painful right now? Or do I need an unfill? Any suggestions?

If you've continued trying to eat after you've already upset your band, it's very likely it's irritated. Some recommend going back to liquids for a day or two to let it settle and then start reintroducing foods.

Are you making sure to chew food well and giving it time to go down before you eat more?
