I've been banded a little more than 2 years and usually it's great. However, sometimes I get really tight for no apparent reason (I do get tight during TOM as well). No excess heartburn or anything, just will have a couple of days where drinking is a chore, and then all is well and normal again for weeks. I thought it had to do with the citric acid in a lot of the sugar free drink mixes I was using so I went all Water and tea and I'm still having these episodes. Anyone else deal with terribly tight days that dont make sense?

I've not had extra tightness with my band for entire days, however I have noticed a definite relationship between my stress level and the degree of restriction I feel with my band. The more stress I feel, the tighter the band...

I'll have been banded 2 years in December. I'm dealing with it right now too. I'm so freaking tight, I slime on everything....even tea. I dread taking my pills, I have to take 2 in the morning and 2 before bed too. I've had HORRIBLE heartburn at night. I finally broke down and bought Pepcid and that's the only thing that's helped me. This is my TOM but holy crap it's bad this month.
