I am in my later 40's so my period does what the hell it wants already so not sure if the band contributes! However, I can say now that my fill level is higher I can't eat as much during my period, just always feel a bit fuller during it.

Haven't noticed a change in flow per se...but my band is definetly tighter during that time.

When I have good restriction my band would be tighter during my period.

Nothing has changed with the flow....

But my band does get tighter.. November of last year I got an unfill because I thought my band had slipped because I couldn't eat/drink. I believe it was really because I was swelling from my period. A month ago I got a fill. I'm on my period now and I've noticed I've been tighter.

To those of you whose bands get tighter during your period: how donyou manage a whole week with a super tight band? My daughter and I were banded same day. I am not having this problem she is. food get stuck, she throws up repeatedly, then her stomach is more swollen. Last night she couldn't keep Water down. But she doesn't want an unfill because she knows in a few days she will be back to normal. Meanwhile how is she supposed to stay hydrated?..

I don't have a problem with liquids or soft food during my period, but must be careful with solids. I have bought a lot of high Protein yogurts/puddings & shakes from the health food store for these occassions. Your daughter may just be very irratated now and may very well need a small unfill If not next month maybe she can stick to soft foods or liquids during her cycle.

My band gets tight during my cycle and I've noticed when it's extremely hot out my band is really right.. So Protein shakes and eggs is all I can do !! Hope this info helps.

Good information to know!!! Glad someone asked, I would have never thought to ask this. Pending insurance approval, I'm getting banded Aug. 16th.

Tighter band maybe Water retention... Harder to get things down. Band has tantrums...I need to eat slower chew smaller bites.
