Is there anyone else that notices that when they are stressed out mentally, physically or upset that your band seems to be tighter?

I've just been banded so I don't have any personal experience, but I've read a lot of post that have talked about stress and that it can tighten the band.

YES!! And I stress a lot so I have to remind myself to calm down before I eat!! And make sure I chew a few extra times!

i agree, stress and other things, like the weather,warmth, humidity, mood swings can make you band tighter!

How soon after? Your profile doesn't have any information about your surgery.

Yes, I just had surgery Tuesday and even though I've been to afraid to touch my stomach so I don't know if it is hard. I do know that it hurts getting up and down and bending over which I'm not suppose to do. The bending over part or stooping for that matter. So be careful.

I had surgery on may 20 2013. But I was wondering is that my port that I am feeling

I had surgery on may 20 and I think that I feeling

So I just got my first fill it is hard to stay on a liquid diet for one day what should i do

Stay as best as you can. It is not wise to try eating right away, you will be swollen. My surgeon says 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids before eating solid foods again. Best wishes. Karen

When I get stressed I can literally feel my band tightening up into a ball in my chest.

Maybe I have not been stressed enough or just to dumb to know what is going on, but have not had any problem with band tightening except when I flew from Seattle to Tucson and it was not all that tight, but did not want solid food for about half a day.

It didn't do that to me right away but now that my band is 'full' I am definitely sensitive to stress.
