Is there anyone else that notices that when they are stressed out mentally, physically or upset that your band seems to be tighter?

I've just been banded so I don't have any personal experience, but I've read a lot of post that have talked about stress and that it can tighten the band.

How soon after? Your profile doesn't have any information about your surgery.

Yes, I just had surgery Tuesday and even though I've been to afraid to touch my stomach so I don't know if it is hard. I do know that it hurts getting up and down and bending over which I'm not suppose to do. The bending over part or stooping for that matter. So be careful.

Stay as best as you can. It is not wise to try eating right away, you will be swollen. My surgeon says 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids before eating solid foods again. Best wishes. Karen

Maybe I have not been stressed enough or just to dumb to know what is going on, but have not had any problem with band tightening except when I flew from Seattle to Tucson and it was not all that tight, but did not want solid food for about half a day.
