cmr 0 Posted June 27, 2006 I am having a rough time going through menopause> Sometimes I am in my period for 14-16 days with terrible cramps. It seems the worse my cramps, the tighter my band is and I am having trouble getting anything but protien shakes down and not getting all the Water that I need. When I finally finish with my period, my restriction is perfect so I don't want to get an unfill, especially if this is all going to be over soon ( I hope). The only thing that I can really do right now is get through this. Do any of you female bandsters have any suggestions? I have scheduled an appointment with the gynocologist but there is a 3 month waiting list. cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
