what is wrong with me....

[miznikkie08 23]

So I was banded in March had a fantastic start. Dropped 20 PDS in the first two weeks. Got my first fill May 1st and did pretty good (nobody mentioned it would hurt to get your first fill lol) well now the last 3 days I've been getting sick no vomit but salty saliva and sometimes the gut reaction but no vomit. I've chewed and chewed and I've drank and drank. Fluids perfectly fine...foods not so hot. Nothing taste good I would rather just drink fluids all day. Tmi moment approaching (I'm just starting my woman time) is KT possible my band is just oober tight from the fill and my woman time (noticed it got tight last month too) I'm not sure if I'm battling an illness or if its band related. Oh and in case your wondering I'm not prego lol.

I read a post a little while ago where someone mentioned that they get tight around that time of the month. I'm not banded yet plus I had a hysterectomy so I can't speak from personal experience. But from what I read it does seem possible. Good luck.

I do definitely tighten up around that time of the month. Without a doubt.

When you say "sick" and "gut reaction", do you mean retching? Like the act of vomiting but without the vomit? If so, you need to contact your doctor to figure out the cause. Even if nothing actually comes up, if you're retching you are putting your band at risk.

Yeah I noticed it last month but I'm not sure if I have a stomach bug or if my tummys upset from being tighter due to woman time and a new fill or what's going on. :/ just makes me nervous because I need this tool and went through to much to get it.

Yeah I have had mostly salty watery mouth and I've dry heaved a few times. Most of it just feels like my stomach turning and the salty watery mouth which to me is the worst. I work hard not to dry heave for that whole reason of not hurting my band.
