Does anyone find that when their pouch gets full they get stopped up in the nose. I find this very strange. As the pouch empties, my nose clears. I was wondering how these two things are coorelated. Thanks!

I get nasal drip...it does seem that there is a coreleation but I can't imagine what one thing could possibly have to do with the other.

that is interesting because i have developed a nasal drip, too.

i never connected it with the band before, but maybe that is it.

Strange...I have not noticed this myself, but congestion is on ething my MD's office has told me can make the band feel tighter. Must be something to it.

Acid reflux can sometimes actually contribute to sinusitis! That is to say, the acid can travel all the way up to your nose and sinuses (for instance, while you are lying down asleep), and this acid can inflame the nose and sinus linings

This is so funny! I get nasal drip...if food gets stuck, my nose starts to run and then I KNOW I'm going to throw up! In fact, as soon as I throw up, it goes away. I just thought it was my crazy body!

I'm 2.5 years out and this still happens to me...especially when I have oatmeal in the morning. It's a guarnatee if I get too full.

I'm glad to hear my body isn't the only one that does this. It is very strange though! Thanks for all the great responses.
