allergies and restriction



Recommended Posts

Anyone else having terrible trouble with their band when their allergies are bothering them? I think I have finally figured out after several months of fills and unfills and fills and unfills that there is a correlation with my allergy symptoms and getting too tight. I get really thick mucus and congetion when my allergies are triggered- which I believe must "clog" my band. If I take gufenessein then I get some relief but I don't do this every single day. Anyone else in the same boat and do you take OTC medication on a daily basis as a precaution?

I suffer from irritants (similar to allergies). I had this problem previous too - especially when my band was tighter. I still get it with a looser fill, but I take Mucinex D daily when the irritants are bothering me and occasionally sleep with a vaporizer to help loosen things up. It really helps me sleep much better (keeping my nose unplugged). I also noticed that I need to drink a lot of Water to help break up the congestion. Good luck!
