restriction - stress??

I was banded at the end of August 2010. I didnt have my first fill until the beginning of November and havent had another since. I have noticed that the band feels tighter sometimes than others. I find when I am stressed it is very tight and I cant keep much down.

Is this in my head or does anyone else experience this?

I do find that if I am stressed, my band seems tighter.  I am 10 months out and have had two fills, one at 3 months(3cc) and one at 9 months(.5cc).  We live with 4 teen grandchildren and if they start bickering at the table, I find that I will have problems...now they know that if I look like I am having problems, they knock off the bickering...side benefit??

The band does not change --- your body changes based on many, many factors.

Stress, hydration, hormones, barometric pressure, all influence our bodies.

Many people experience feelings of tightness early in the day, and then feel 'wide open' later in the day.  Some people feel fine in the morning and then tighter in the evenings.

If you are too tight to eat or drink, you need to consult with  your physician --- if you can eat/drink and just want to know if you are 'normal' --- yep, you are.

My band always feels tighter when I'm stressed.  Both of the unfills I have had to have occurred because of stress.  This band is just unpredictable and downright moody sometimes.  It's not in your head.

My band is maybe looser than some, because I have never felt tighter with stress.  It's interesting how we all are different.  I have read that most people do get tighter with stress though.  My stomach is just weird! hahahaha
