I had a full done in march and it's the middle of April and the last few days it's been hard to eat and keep anything down. What causes that. It's been fine till just a few days ago

Stress can make the band tighter.

Most of us have fickle bands. Sometimes I get stuck every meal for a few days and then I'm OK for a few weeks. Consuming too much sodium can cause your stomach lining to swell too. Also, I've had a few stomach bugs over the last year and that will cause blood to flow to your stomach causing the lining to swell and that makes the stoma smaller.

Getting stuck also irritates the lining and causes more swelling. Just eat slider foods for a day or two so that you aren't irritating your stoma/band area.

Then, sometimes for no visible or knowable reason, my band will tighten. Go figger.

I agree with 2much just don't vomit and if you do call your surgon right away and tell them I didn't and had problems.

I have friends with allergies, who actually have to have a small unfill during those times.

The band is fickle. Stress does effect mine.
