When I had my surgery in 2007 I was still having a period and I noticed that during that time (pre, during & post) I had a dificult time eating. The band seemed tighter and I just assumed it was from the bloating and everything else that goes along with that time. But ...now I am in the menopausal period of my life and have not had my period in over 2 years however, like clockwork, once a month (or more) I experience the same tightness and can go 3-4 days without being able to keep anything down. Not even liquids. I don't feel bloated. Has anyone had this experience? Is menopause the culprit? If so, what is making this happen and are there any tricks to getting around or through these days any easier?
