Monthly (Aunt FLOW) & Tighter Band



Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies!

I am expecting my 1st period since being banded on 6-17 and this has been my PMS week. FUN FUN, LOL!:blink:

I have had a feeling of fullness much beyond what I have felt for the previous 3 weeks. Is this a part of monthly bloating? Do you feel different when you are pre-menstrual? Just wondering if this might have something to do with it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

This is really funny because I am having the opposite problem... I'm SO hungry!! This is my first cycle since being banded (6/20) and I have had a pretty easy time making good choices and eating the right portions until this week. I am trying so hard to stay on track! Ugh! :)

My band seems to tighten during TOM for me. I asked the nurse at the surgeon's office if she had heard of it before and she said no.

My doctor says the band does tighten during our TOM and I often experience it...

I am currently having my TOM and I have noticed my band is tighter. Very interesting.

that is interesting - I've been banded for a little over a year. I didn't start experience the band tightening with my TOM until I got to my "green zone" - now when it's that time I can expect to be extremely tight for at half the time it's on...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
