I went and got some Pepcid AC chewables for the reflux this afternoon. I was able to drink some chicken broth and tiny sips of water. I also took some Maalox earlier. I am praying for no night time reflux tonight. Thanks everyone for your input!

I didn't keep it down...and regarding the cold stuff I am such an idiot, I knew that! I am going to get some chicken broth for supper tonight and see how that goes.

Well, he took out the .2 that he put in. I am now back at 1.4. On the way back to work I stopped and got some icecream and I ate some of it. I don't think it has went down. I can feel it sitting above the band, and it hurts. What is the chance that maybe it is slipped or could it be just swollen still?

How much did u have taken out? I thought about getting .1 taken out and then if it is still not better going tomorrow and taking out the other .1.

Welcome to LBT and Good Luck to you!

I did not drink anything after 8 last night and went to bed around 12 and still had the reflux.......I have to go to the Dr, don't think that I should wait. Even this morning I have had nothing and when I burp acidy stuff comes up.

Yesterday morning well around noon, I tried some cappacino and it did not stay down. I can always eat baked potatoes, just have to have alot of butter. I know I am too tight, I am just trying to keep losing, but before this fill I had lost 4 lbs in 3 weeks. Yesterday morning after I was up for a while and did not consume anything by mouth, I still had to throw up....so I do need to go to the Dr.

After reading some of the other posts regarding being too tight, I now don't know if I should get an unfill or just go with the flow. I am having reflux at night and that scares me. But, should I try and just go with nothing today and then warm liquids and see how that goes. My dr is only in town on Monday and Tuesday's, if I do decide later in the week to get an unfill I will be in trouble.

Down 5 lbs for me............and I can't eat or drink!

Well I am off to see the Doctor today at 12:40! I am gonna see if he will just take out the .2 cc he put in!

Well, I went and got a fill on Tuesday. Had 1.4 now at 1.6. I can't drink anything without throwing it up before around 1-2, but I can eat some baked potato. Does anyone else have a problem drinking? I am going to get an unfill on Monday, just have him take out the .2 that he put in. I have had the acid reflux. I am also having it when I lay down. Aunt Flo is visiting til tomorrow. Should I just ride it out for another week or just get the unfill. Just wasn't sure if this was common for others not to be able to drink and not hold it down. Thanks.....

As with many others I am speechless! My heart goes to her family at theis time. I know that she is up there looking down wondering why were are all crying, she is in Heaven!!!!

Girl, today you can have the port and the band!

I have always heard that some people can't eat rice with the band--but, I can and do..that is until today. Went to lunch at a Mexican Resturant and had some rice. Everything was fine until 1-2 hours later. I started PBing-throwing up clear liquid..saliva. Called the Dr's office and they explained to me that the rice is swelling in my stomach causing me to not be able to swallow my saliva. So after being a bandster for 19 months, I am still learning! No more rice for me...and I think that this fill is going to be "it"!

Second!! Go for it!

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head by guessing what happened. I have been there and done that. The day I was going to get the fill taken out, I was able to hold liquids down that morning, but went ahead with the unfill anyway...Good Luck to You!

No you are not the only one......there are other posts on here regarding this issue...people say that the weather messes with their band. I know when aunt flo is coming to visit I get tight. This thing is never the same!

.844 lbs per week for me.....not doing to good! But, with my new fill today, I will lose 15 lbs by June for sure!! Ok Hopefully:-)

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I am the same...179........but I didn't gain!

Don't you just love a great PB???? I do, if I didn't have a PB it means I would not have the band and that would suck!
