marly7 18 Posted December 26, 2012 Hey y'all my sinuses are putting a whooping on me and my eating habits ! I'm trying best to stay hydrated more than anything and if I am able to eat get Protein in ... Lately I feel like I live on black piping hot coffee and hot tea ... I have precaution allergy meds but they seem to work when they want too .... !!!! cause I'm not the type to run back for a deflate when the band isn't the problem ... Any advice ??

♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted December 26, 2012 I have Fluid removed when my allergies are bad because the sinus drainage tightens my band. I suggest a slight unfill for now. 1 CHEZNOEL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marly7 18 Posted December 26, 2012 Hmm my dr never told me that the sinus drainage would damage my band I will ask them when I go back in ... Thanks for that info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted December 26, 2012 Hmm my dr never told me that the sinus drainage would damage my band I will ask them when I go back in ... Thanks for that info I didn't say it would damage your band. Drainage makes my band tighter & therefore I can't eat normally. Just wanted to clarify that. It is best to check with your doctor. 1 CHEZNOEL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoMoBand 278 Posted December 27, 2012 I use Musinex in liquid form. Seems to help with drainage most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
