Tropical Storm (Low Pressure Weather) Affect Fill?



Recommended Posts

I live here in Pensacola, Florida and we just had the joy of Tropical Storm Lee stalling out over us for the past three days. I am wondering if this low pressure weather could affect the band and make it feel tighter?

I got a fill two weeks ago from 5.5cc up to 6.5 cc, and for the first 4 days seemed fine. On the 5th day, I could not hold anything down, including Water, but I chalked it up to nerves as I was going home that day for my sister's wedding. After day 5, things got better, and I was able to get food and fluids down, even though it was significantly more restricted. That brings us up to the last few days where it has gotten much more uncomfortable; fluids stay down fine, but most everything, including mushies, come back up. All of the sudden today, as the weather has started to return to normal, I can eat like a normal lap band patient again and fluids are not uncomfortable either. Could it be similar to the effect flying in an airplane has on the band?

Just Curious?
