That time of the Month & Fills

NaturalBeauty · April 20, 2006

Hello all,

I need some help this mornnig. Lately when getting fill I have good restriction and then prior to my monthly cycle, I get lose for about 2/3 days and then just before I tighten up really bad.

Since I hadn't had a fill in a while, I did not remember how bad it was until last night. I started retaining Water and my acid reflux went up to a level that I hadn't seen before (meaning very bad:omg: ). I coughed all night long, to the point of my chest hurting (and it could also be from the exercise with the trainer, we worked on arms, back and shoulders).

I don't want to get an unfill, I think I need to wait for a few days and just do Clear liquids to give my body time to heal. I always make sure I never get a fill around my cycle time because I usually carry around 5lbs of water weight but last night was the worst.

Any suggestions on how to handle this would be helpful. Thank you for your help!

I always get super tight around my monthly, I make sure to check the dates before I go in for a apt fill.

If I get a tight fill I cant handle anything but liquids that week..

I try not to get filled that tight because I dont like the feeling

Thanks for the reply.

It look like you've had your band for quite a while. It's always nice to see someone who has had some time with the band. It's been almost a year, and still so new to me.

I don't like the way I feel when I am supper tight either, it's like someone has there hand around my neck but not tight enough to choke me, just make me very uncomfortable.

Thanks for your reply.
