PLEASE HELP! I've noticed over the past few months that acid reflux is a daily occurrence for no apparent reason causing me to have a consistent coughing sensation. I vomit eating foods I've never had issues with in the past. Some soft foods struggle getting down. I feel discomfort in my chest and stomach and just feel yucky. Do any of these symptoms sound like that of a sipped band?

I'm calling my Dr in the morning. Thanks you all.

I had lapband surgery in September 2008. I lost over 80 lbs but I haven't had a fill in several years yet I get stuck from baby carrots w/ranch. If I eat anything after that it just builds up the amount that I eventually throw up and it's a major ordeal. My eyeballs feel as though they're going to pop out of my head my throat hurts and the area of my band hurts. This is why people will eat around the band, to prevent this violent throwing up. Has anyone else experienced this to the point of band removal? How did you recover after the removal? Do they remove both the band and port? Would you recommend removal? I am strongly considering it.
