Holy Crap My Band Is Frozen !

[Humming Bird 275]

It depends on it trauma was caused to the actual stomach tissue by eating while the band had tightened up while at a higher altitude. The first time it happened to me there was trauma to my stomach tissue and it caused so much swelling I could hardly even get tiny sips of Fluid to go through. The second time I went to an area over 10,000ft I knew what was going on and it was a simple fix.

KeepMoving, were you at a higher altitude for a short time or are you still there?

No it didnt freeze from cold foods..which was never a issue. Again this wasnt a food issue.

I was in the hill country for memorial weekend and before I went all was great and I go a lil higher

and it tightened up..sorry didnt mean for you guys to get all techinical.

We own the property and its never done this..just something new for me.

Have a great Saturday.

Had surgery in Texas. Moved to Denver. Texas doc took out a very small amount of Fluid because of new altitude. So post about atmosphere is correct. Same applies when you fly. I do international rescues and am pretty limited when I eat on the plane. It is at about 8000ft pressurized in the cabin. And on the issue of cold vs heat for swelling. Both are correct. You should ice an injury for 24-48 hours in 20 min intervals. Then you use heat after that time. The cold vasoconstricts and limts or reduces the initial swelling and the heat vasodilates the area to promote healing and "clean out" the initial swelling. This mainly applies though to things like ankles etc. Ice can help with sore throats etc to help with swelling related issues. Plus it is a good way to get fluids. But as far as the band the amount of tissue it would need to affect to reach the band itself is impossible. Your stomach way is actually very thick. Hope that helps.
