darn period.... wide open band!



Recommended Posts

Apparently I am one of the ones thats band opens wide up during my period. I was so hoping to be one of the ones thats band closed shut,,, but it opened on up for me to pig out on Xmas dinner. Of course, it was ALOT less pigging out than previous pre-band Xmas dinners so for that I am thankful. I hope you all had a happy happy holiday!

I am exactly the same, sometimes I dont even feel as if I have a band when it is that time of the month. I am just glad it is only 1 week.

I'm one of the "closed up tight on the period" chicks, and I sure wasn't happy about it yesterday. Why do we always want the opposite of what we have, lol?

I think their next version of the port should be connected to a little Reebok pump... On days when you want more restriction, puff puff puff! But on rare days (like for Christmas dinner) you can press the button and let the air out for no restrictoin.

I'm going to patent that and become a gajillionaire. :)

Are we all on the same cycle?? I've heard you can sync up with women that you hang with, but I didn't know it went through the cyber waves too!

I'm super tight right now. Sheesh.

Hi Lovecats,

I noticed you've been getting filled by Dr. Maese. I have an appointment with him on the 6th. How is he, when it comes to fills? Does he give you the option of getting a tight fill? Or am I gonna have to keep going back for every .5 CCs? I was going to get it done by Dr. Barker, but he wanted to charge me a hundred dollars more than Dr. Maese. What do you think of Dr. Maese as a doctor? How is his "bed side manner"?

WAIT JUST A MINUTE! How did I miss this connection!?!?!? Tighter when you have your period ????? I will have to pay attention now since I've had my period like 5X in the 9 or 10 weeks I've been banded -- no wonder I'm losing weight LOL -- I thought I was a super bandster -- turns out I'm just a homone queen! What is the reasoning behind this -- Water weight causing tightness around the band or something? I'm baffled!

It's all about Water, Bandayed. If it's really humid some of us get tighter also. I don't know why some of us are tight and some of us are wide open, it's strange that way.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
