Do talk w/ your DR. I have FMS, & possibly Lupus. but I haven't had my DS surgery. I do stretching, pool classes and lot of rest. I wih you the best, Susan

I was banded 5 years ago, with no history or indications of Lupus.  The symptoms started around Sept 07, and am in the process of being diagnosed. My rheumatologist is leaning towards Lupus.  What I've noticed is that even with the tiniest flareup, my band gets tighter.  I'm in constant pain somewhere in my body.  I do still manage to exercise 5 days/week; in fact I seem to feel better immediately after exercising.  The problem I'm having is that even though I'm exercising, because it's so difficult to eat, I'm not losing weight. I think this is due to not getting enough calories.  Do you think I should talk to my surgeon and see about getting some fluid removed fom the band?
