Band tightens some days



Recommended Posts

I'm having some issues and would like input. I haven't had a fill for months. Most days I have no problem eating but then there are several days that my band gets so tight I can only drink. If I try to eat on those days I get sick. I've also noticed since I've had the band mornings and evenings my band gets tight making it difficult to eat solid food. Has any body had these issues? Any recommendations? I work in stressful corporate America and I know stress can cause tightens. I just don't understand why this keeps occurring.

I understand that weather change can affect it. Do you wake it up with something hot in the morning?

I drink something hot like tea or coffee before every meal that helps a lot, I have the same problem with my band tightening some days you just have to get used to it and learn to eat again,theirs days when you can eat whatever and then theirs other days when you can only eat soft mushy foods and weather does affect it a lot.

ive been experiencing the same thing. I haven't had a fill for months and up until the last week I was able to eat with little to no problems. Now everything I eat gets stuck even yogurt which has always been easy for me. I've been very stressed out lately recently was laid off, argument with the bf, and worried about money.. i'm wondering if stress does play a big part in all of this. Will the band eventually loosen up or should I have some Fluid removed until I get my emotions under control? I have an appointment to see my dr on Wednesday which i'll certainly talk to him about it then. Just would like some input.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
