Stress affecting my Band

[cole&matt'smom 72]

I was banded on 01/16/13 & everything is going great. I did learn today that becoming stressed made my band feel super tight. I normally am not put in highly stressful situations at work but today was just one of those days:( Just wondering if I'm the only one to experience this when stressed??

Stress has always struck my stomach my whole life and now my band takes part in it too.lol. I have read that a lot of ppl feel stress in their bands.

Yes, if I get stressed out I pretty much can't eat.

Oh yea, my band will let me know when I'm stressed, sometimes before I realized I'm stressing.

Thanks ladies:) It was a first for me. I'm thinking it may not be a bad thing...I used to eat like crazy when I got home after a stressful day. Well not so much today I felt like my band was strangling my stomach. No more stress eating for me???„

Yes, stress affects your band and a good thing to keep in mind when you think of fills. Go slow, my friend. If you're still responding to stress this way when it's time for a fill, be very conservative. It's great that you are very in tune with your body and the stress response. Best of luck to you on your band journey!
