Out of the blue

I have had really REALLY good restriction up until today. I have only had 2 fills - - last one I had was Oct. 30, and had one scheduled for Dec 2 but cancelled cause my restriction was still really great, but then today out of nowhere I feel like I have NO restriction what-so-ever. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this? I'm a worrier and I keep thinking my band broke or fell off or something lol I worry myself crazy.

Has anyone else had this type of issue, where you have great restriction then just BAM! NONE! ?? thanks for listening, guys and gals

I had the exact same thing happen to me on thanksgiving day believe it or not. I have had restriction where I can only barely eat maybe 1/2 cup and can't eat until after noon or 1pm and then BAM on turkey day I ate much more quickly and had finished my small plate before I knew it. I was in shock. I also have had 2 fills. I decided to not act right away but wait a week or two like Evette said and see then if I need another fill. Yesterday I barely ate anything so I guess that's just how it is.

The band is fickle!! It's a love hate relationship sometimes but it does work. Keep us posted on what happens with yours.

I have also on occasion experience this. I remember one time with great restriction, I ate like 2 pieces of pizza at lunch. I looked down and they were gone! But it's rare. I wouldn't worry yet. It'll probably be back to normal for you soon.

I am curious about something, as I am new about this. I had my first fill last week and I've scheduled my 2nd on Sat, Dec 20 at OCC. Although I do have restriction, it is just ok.

My question is, will the weather really have anything to do with the band being tighter or loose? I mean, it is plastic. I am hearing some say because it's cold, it making the band or stomach restrict. BUT, your body is automatically controlled to be at a set temperature at all time. So...how can the band be tighter inside a warm body?
