stress problem?

kewi · October 12, 2007

I had my surgery about year ago and have lost 50+ pounds and have almost that much more to go. I've sailed through with slow, steady, nearly effortless weight loss. But for the past few weeks I can hardly eat anything. It's like my stomach closes and any little bite gets stuck and comes up. Very uncomfortable. My last fill was about 5 months ago and went well. This didn't start until a few weeks ago. I've been under more that the usual amount of stress at work. Has anyone had stress related issues with their band? Could this be an explanation?

Yes, stress can definitely be an explanation. I actually got an unfill back during one VERY stressful time in my life. And just a few weeks ago I was thinking I should get a fill, and then this last week with moving from one state to another I've gotten totally locked up like you are describing.

I was wondering if it works like that too. I've heard it can, but I don't know how to gauge it personally.

It's rush season at work (until after Christmas), and I'm always running around like a chicken with its head cut off!! There's so many issues during our rush season, we all live stressed.. a lot of people blame their smoke and/or alcohol addictions on our jobs lol.

I am extremely tight since my revision surgery, but the past 2 days have been the worst. Nothing goes down until after dinner (and I'm home). Could just be coincidental.. could be supposed TOM (I take B/C back to back as not to have a real TOM).. maybe stress? Wish I knew.. I'm going to get a little unfill and I'd hate for this to just be something passing.
