The Gastric Band is not a big fan of stress, if you didn't already know
Stress Awareness Month has been held every April, since 1992..!! What with modern fast paced lifestyles, stress can be high on the agenda for most. With a gastric band in-situ, stress can effect you differently than ever before.
likeliness is that your band will know you're stressed before you are, stress effects the stomach in more ways than one and this can increase the tightness of your band
So Beware, and why not use this opportunity to take time out to think about your wellbeing/stress levels and seek advice or support on ways to manage stress should this be effecting you and your weight loss journey xx
