Hey Mscags...

You leave this very open to questions:

How long are you banded? Is this your first period since banding? Are you feeling pain, or are you feeling restriction?

Fill us in a little more information so we can give our 2 cents.

If you read some more, you'll see that many of us have a BIG variation in restriction with TOM; some get really loose, some get really tight. In the end, I think we all go back to our 'norm' when the cycle is over.

I'm sorry, I have been banded for 6 months had my second adjustment done during last Months TOM. I was so tight that they removed a little of my fill, everything was fine for the rest of the month. Then This TOM came and i started having pain again. I am now on day 8 Flow is gone and still having a little bit of pain when ever i eat anything with consistancy.

I little bit on my history. I have been very successful with the band so far. I was banded 4/27/07 and as of sunday i have lost 85Lb's.

I'm not sure, but my doctor's office asks me if I'll be on TOM for a fill. They prefer NOT to do it then, as there is a risk that runs of an inaccurate fill. But then again, each doctor is different.

I would certainly call your doctor; as you should NEVER experience 'pain'. Discomfort, perhaps - but definatley not pain.

BTW - congrats on your amazing success!
