  1. I to notice that stress has a major effect on my band. I am 2 1/2 years post op and often have to entertain clients for dinner. Many times I have sat a the table staring at my food while my clients eat and I know wondering why I'm not eating. I would take the first bite and get locked up as I call it, could not swallow another bite. Often have to excuse myself to the mens room to get some relief. This can be quite tough to deal with at times. I had been experiencing this more often recently and decided to have my band drained completely and start over. I obviously surpassed what everyone call the green zone. I had more the 50% fill on my band trying to force myself to loose weight. I have actually gained a few pounds since I emptied my band. I look forward to getting things back on track. Has anyone else had these experiences?
