can stress tighten u

hello BAF i am new to this forum, but have a question i have  band . recently had adjustment this week -alot going on this wk and woke up this morn cld nt drink water and upped water and chkn frm last nite + blood. could stress make band tigher?
PLease throw me some knowledge!!!

Yes, stress can definately make the band feel tighter.  When I'm worked up or upset I just stick with liquids and mushies.  But if you're bringing up blood its time to call your doc.  A temporary unfill might be best.

thanks for the reply. this was my first fill in few months [gained half pound]. hope did not start eating too soon after fill.

My doc has never put me on restriction after a fill, I know a lot of people say they start back with liquids and slowly progress to solids after fills.  My Dr suggests that is not a good idea, the whole point of the band is it restricts SOLID protein, and you might just fool yourself into thinking things are ok but you really can't be sure if you are only taking in liquids and mushies after a fill.

Please call the Dr about you bringing up blood though-that definitely is worrisome.
