Amanda1982 142 Posted May 31, 2013 Is there anyone else that notices that when they are stressed out mentally, physically or upset that your band seems to be tighter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted May 31, 2013 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. ~~~Stephanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. ~~~Stephanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kll724 3,055 Posted June 26, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeeB1946 261 Posted June 27, 2013 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.

GuyMontag 1,264 Posted June 27, 2013 It didn't do that to me right away but now that my band is 'full' I am definitely sensitive to stress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
