Yesterday, after fighting it for days, I woke up with a nasty cold/cough. Respiratory issues, feeling queasy and tired-more or less yucky. Anyway, I thought I was queasy and shaky from not eating so I tried my usual lunch food and I was very tight, only a couple bites. Same thing happen later at dinner-hardly could eat anything. Also been having achy, bruise like feeling at my port (just since I haven't been feeling well).<br /> <br /> Has anyone heard of your stomach swelling when you're sick or your band feeling tighter or port pain?<br /> <br /> Very curious and would appreciate any responses! I'm still a little paraniod when it comes to possible issues with my band.

Thanks!

i haven't been banded long enough to have this happen, but my doctor's office says that being sick is like a "mini fill". they said that being sick does make your band tighter, and to remember that with the upcoming cold season.
