  1. HELP!!! Has ANYONE found a cure for this besides band removal or the constant fill-unfill-fill-unfill routine (at $150 a pop??) My wife had her band put in a few years ago and lost 70lbs but the last 2 years has been living hell. She can't sleep because she throws up all night. She spits up constantly during the day and in general I think this band is dangerous and should be removed. She's going in for her first throat scope next week and I'm guessing they'lll find some sort of damage due to the band. She's tried it all... they check her band for slippage each time the fill-unfill (no slippage found), she stopped eating after 6pm, has nexium script, sleeps proped up or on the recliner but the trash can is always next to her because it's gonna come up! Does anyone know the cure?????
