Stress and anxiety-

[lnmlisa 1]

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if stress can cause your band to be tighter? I've had a stressful month and I feel like my band is super tight compared to how it was about a month ago- my last adjustment was Dec. 14

and it was a REALLY good one- great restriction! I went in for my Jan appt (Jan 21) and I had lost 13 lbs- dr was so impressed he moved me to 3 month appts. I eat very small portions and stay full. So now I'm just wondering if stress could be causing it to feel tighter? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

Hi there!

Stress certainly can tighten my band. Many things do it to me though; flying, stress, my period, early mornings, emotional crying, time changes, it goes on. I will say though, that it's never been a prolonged tightening... 3 days max as I approach my period, and I've never tightened up for a month at a time.

Are you PBing or getting stuck frequently? Taking in enough calories? If not, you may need a slight unfil, regardless of the cause factor of the tightness.

I hope you're able to destress soon!
