Need help. Kind of freaking out!

[Jackiedi 0]

I'm going to call the doctor asap, but was wondering if anyone could give insight until then.

2 days ago I wore a sweat band thing around my waist during my workout. I then drank some Water and noticed my band felt tighter than usual. I havent had a fill in 6 months! My band is still feeling tight and I don't know if that stupid tummy slimmer thing screwed up my band or not. Totally freaking out because it was on kind of snug for extra support.

Advice??

Thanks!

I have also had the experience of my band seeming tighter months after my last fill, for no apparent reason. I just chalked it up to the band being fickle.

I think that as we lose weight (and change from exercise too), our insides shift around. Eventually this can result in needing more of a fill, since there's less fat inside pushing on our internal organs. But maybe sometimes it just means the band feels tighter....

As long as it's not too tight and you're not getting stuck more than usual, and you can still eat and drink okay, it doesn't sound like a problem. Do check with your doc, but you're probably okay.

If the doc says anything interesting about this, be sure and let us know!

Hey there!

Thank you so much!

I haven't lost much weight in the last month or two but realized I might be dehydrated. It's just a chore to drink all that Water and when we're dehydrated we can retain Water and puff up, which can cause tightness.

I called my doctor this morning and they said my belt thing probably has nothing to do with it. They told me its pretty normal to get tighter all of a sudden. I should drink lots of water and see what happens within the next few days. I'm able to eat just fine, but I get stuck more than usual. No PBing though, because I do the downward facing dog yoga pose and it gets unstuck.

They didn't say anything else interesting, just said it had nothing to do with it. The band is very fickle!!
