Stress tightening my band?

[BandaCat 1]

I got engaged a couple months ago. I was thrilled and super excited, but immediately there were a million questions and decisions that needed to be made. I was sooooooooo sick with acid reflux because my band basically closed. My doctor ended up removing everything but .1cc. Now I have virtually no restriction. The stress has definitely calmed down and unfortunately I've gained some weight since then. I want to get a fill again because the wedding is in February and want to enjoy the pictures. But, I have some MAJOR changes going on in my business life. So I'm nervous to get a fill knowing that the stress may get worse again.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to see how it goes.

I have had three instances of extreme stress that caused my band to tighten to the point of not being able to consume even Water a few weeks after the stressful incidents. It wouls start off feeling really tight and then progress to tighter and tighter and tighter which led me to need an unfill.

My doctor says it's impossible, but I know my body.

Time of stress #1- Dad had major stroke leaving him paralyed and in nursing home. Could barely eat anything for weeks and then it became so bad I couldn't even drink Water and couldn't even lay down without gagging on phlegm.

Time #2- Went back to work after dad's stroke, kids started school, and several other small stresses.

#3- Dad died after a year in the nursing home and a few weeks later my 6 year old was very badly injured in an accident where a concrete fountain fell on him. He ended up with only minor injuries, but was transported to the hospital via ambulance with eyes rolling into the back of his head and blood eveerywhere.

I have had other times of stress that caused discomfort and I just went on liquids for a while and it went away.
