  1. I think I had your symptoms (fluid in the mouth in the middle of the night)...I went in & had 1cc removed. New problem is that now my throat makes all these weird noises & I have a dull pain betw my shoulder blades? What was it that you took to take the swelling down? THKS!
  2. I am dying to hear what this is caused by as I just started having the exact same problem. I also have a dull pain in my between my shoulder blades, but not sure if it is related? I have had fluid taken out of my band the past 2 visits so I don't think it is because I am full?
  3. I just got my first fill about 3 wks ago...I have pb'd at least once a day since & I am still struggling to change 43 yrs of awful eating hablits (fast & too big of portions)...I have probably affected my band and will find out next Friday
  4. Hi Everyone - I was banded 6/30. I am very bloated too & I have that sharp pain in my left rib cage? I take at least 4 walks a day & am downing GasX...is this normal? & how soon wil it go away?!!
  5. I was having trouble sleeping last night & tried to research this bloated / gas feeling. If I take a deep breath, I get a sharp pain in my left rib cage? I read on a thread last night that it is not gas? Any idea on what it is? & any idea on how to reduce the pain? Thks!!
  6. I was banded on 6/30 and I am very bloated & uneasy. I have been on 4 walks today over a mile each and that has not helped at all. I had soup for the first time today and it was great...I hope things start to get better.
  7. Just considering lap surgery...have my first consultation on June 6...my question is: who are people referring to as the "approver?" The Dr doing the surgery? or insurance? & do I have to get my regular Dr to support the surgery to have insurance pay?
