Looking For Input

My band has been sitting at a pretty sweet spot for me, but it's as if gets tighter on it's own. Then on Friday I had the stomach flu and now I seemed to feel as if it's not as tight as the "sweet spot". Sounds silly but I'm wondering...

Did you vomit when you had that stomach bug? Vomiting can alter the position of the band. Not necessarily a band slip, but enough to "feel" different.

Jean-This is my concern because I did vomit. Only once, but it was a strain all the way to my toes. The thing is. I have gotten to a "too tight" feeling and vomit almost everyday because of being stuck. I don't feel less restriction per se but I can actually eat now and I'm worried. I have to be super restricted.

You might want to give your surgeon a call. An upper GI study could verify that everything's OK in there.

Be careful of "super restriction". It can lead to complications like a band slip, band erosion, esophageal or pouch dilation.

Headed to see my surgeon in the a.m. Thanks for your thoughts.

As it turned out, my port was leaking. Had a port revision a few weeks ago. :( bump in the road I reckon.
