I had my surgery 10/12/2012. Almost a year ago! Can't beleive time went so fast! Anyway, I have been having some problems keeping my food down at night. Sometimes when I am sleeping I wake up choking and coughing up mucus or food. Am I eating too late and laying down too soon? Do I need another fill or should I get my band loosend? I am going to the Dr on September 6th. If anyone has had this problem please help! Thanks!

Maybe you are right. It may not be acid reflux. I wonder what it could be?

I was banded on 10/12/2011. I am due for my 4th fill in two weeks. I have been having alot of acid reflux and some vomiting. When I eat it seems like my food gets stuck in my espophogus and will not move down.This hurts really bad! During surgery I had my hiatal hernia repaired. Not sure if it's from that or something else. When I swallow my food it will not move. And when I vomit I have more mucus than food coming out. I take Prilosec every morning. I try to eat slow but sometimes get a little to anxious and eat too quickly! Is my band too tight? Is there anything I can do or change to prevent this from happening?

I had my surgery on 10/12/11. So far everything has been good The only problem I'm having is that I have been a eating a little more than usual. At times I over eat, I sometimes eat too fast as well and I feel my port get a little hard. Is that normal? I'm due for my 2nd fill on 1/19/12.

Yesterday I had my first fill. My surgery date was October 12th I was originally scheduled on December 1st for my first fill. Because of the holidays they scheduled it yesterday. The problem I'm having is that I did not eat yesterday at all. Then I went on clear liqueds untill today. Since then I have been feeling nauseated and have no appetite. I did try to eat a peice of toast this morning and feel a little better. I have a problem eating three meals a day. I don't feel hungry and end up eating once a day but I include my shakes as well. Is it normal for me to feel nauseated after my fill? Please help?

My surgery went well. Didn't tolerate the pain very well and had a little issue with my BP. I also did not expect to have so much gas. Not sure why I have this appointment, but i guess I will find out on Thursday.

I am 3 weeks post op. I had my surgery on 10/12. I have an appointment on 11/3 and I went last week for my first follow up on 10/20. I'm not due for my first fill for another 3 weeks. What should I expect at the second visit post op?

Thanks everyone for your advice! Hopefully I will lose more weight soon.

I had my surgery October 12th and I still have some gas. The pain in my shoulder finally went away!! Whew! But I feel constipated. I moved my bowels only once since surgery. I must say I feel great!!! Since the surgery I have lost 10lbs but now I'm on the stage III diet (pureed only) and it seems like my weight loss has stopped or slowed down. Is this normal? <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wSt8FyV/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wSt8FyV/weight
