2muchfun 8,927 Posted April 21, 2013 Most of us have fickle bands. Sometimes I get stuck every meal for a few days and then I'm OK for a few weeks. Consuming too much sodium can cause your stomach lining to swell too. Also, I've had a few stomach bugs over the last year and that will cause blood to flow to your stomach causing the lining to swell and that makes the stoma smaller. Getting stuck also irritates the lining and causes more swelling. Just eat slider foods for a day or two so that you aren't irritating your stoma/band area. Then, sometimes for no visible or knowable reason, my band will tighten. Go figger. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted April 22, 2013 I have friends with allergies, who actually have to have a small unfill during those times. The band is fickle. Stress does effect mine. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
