I notice that I usually feel a lot more bloated and crampy around that time - and I do seem to be able to eat a lot less....I have had the ablasion surgery so I don't have much of a period, but I still get the bloated feeling and hormonal swings. Joys of being a woman!

Nope I have the same problem..as a matter of fact dealing with it now..Doc said to just get down liquids/shakes during this time.

It's because of the Fluid retention, it causes the band to swelling which in turn tightens the band

The band does not swell. Your body does, which makes the band feel tighter than usual.

I'm feeling mine coming on and definitely can feel a change in my band (or rather, in my Fluid levels which affects the band). While I'm normally yellow-to-greenish, I'm certainly more restricted now, which makes me wonder whether I should get a fill as planned in 2 weeks. Has anyone ever crossed the green/red boundary because of their TOM?

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
