you should not wait that long i great rid of it fast why suffer it does not pass just gets worst you have to chew a lot

did they check if you had a leak the band is funny it can feel like that and then start working

you find a weight that you can maintain

i don't have trouble if if i toast it and putt some Peanut Butter on it

well, i had all the Fluid removed and the gerd is completely gone. it happened all the time not just at night. night was just the worst. hard to sleep even. didn't matter what i ate or didn't eat. nights were miserable unless i took mucinex and a decongestant. even then they weren't great. much much better now. will get a fill in a couple of months.

hope you feel better i

Sorry you're all going through this, but glad I'm not the only one. Right now I have this pain right in the middle of my chest ever since I had a smoothie ealier. Other times, it's just because I ate, or coughed hard. I have gained back the little bit of weight I lost from having the lapband put in Jan of '09, and I want it out. My plan is to revise to a sleeve. I'm meeting with my PCP to start th process on Monday. I've been a member of this forum for 3 years, but haven't posted in a long while.

did the do any test dont jump the gun it might be fixable

So can anyone tell my WHY some of us get reflux and/or gerd after the surgery when we didn't have it before? Mine is so bad right now that I am on liquids only and taking mucinex & a decongestant. Allergies kill me. And the mucus seems to plug up the band. I get that. But it also appears, for me anyway, that I have the same problem when I am stressed. Anyone else notice that?

are you to tight does it just happen at night the band changes all the time

Thanks all for such good information. Banded for over 2 years, 70 lbs down 40 to go. All of sudden when I walk fast or exercise I have shortness of breath and have problems getting food down but does go down within a few min, with that awful pain in chest. And my shortness of breath goes away. I thought maybe has to do with esaphigus after reading blogs. I did have an upper GI and fine but strange after 2 years am experiencing this. I think the shortness of breath is better but will keep an eye on it. Any thoughts? Thanks

i found out that the vagus nerve is what can make you faint and alot of other things if your esphogus gets irratated also blood pressure i would always get bad pain in my chest first it does not happen that offten if im driviing atleast i get a warning first but make sur it isnot your heart first
