I have been reading about it now, many say they have the same issue, one said she had a slip! I think we should have the barium swallow. My doc said i should stop eating & drinking @ night, i did that but still the same problem happened! I really cannot sleep @ night just from coughing

How long have you been banded? Its been 2 years for me, and i currently have this same problem! When i get a fill, i sleep, wake up choking, coughing, and many times, Water running from my nose, ONCE i saw the same cheese stuff, bas was wayy too sleepy to give it attention! How long have you been banded?

Well i do not know how many CC's i have , but what i do know is that every 3 or 4 months i go to see my doc and i get one CC then the next day i go back and remove half a CC because i cannot swallow my saliva! Then for the next one month, i am chocking on my saliva when i sleep, or i vomit everything i put in my mouth, after that im back to normal! YES i can eat a whole burger but with ONE BUN only, and it takes me hours to finish it, but i eventually do finish it! NO i do not eat on occasional basis, but just when i really do not feel like eating anything but junk! I have maintained my weight for the past 6 months now, and i really want to loose more, but i guess my body is just tired from years and years of diets, so im taking things slowly! I love my band, but i hate it when i am with people who do not know i am banded yet i have to run to the toilet and vomit telling them that i am sick hehehhe So yeah, i can eat a burger with fries because i love it!

I dont think im tight, because i can eat most of the time, and swallow, anyways, tom im going to the doc, wish me luck

I have been banded since one year and a half, and never had this experience before! I had a fill like 2 weeks ago, he gave me 1CC Extra (i dont know whats my total but maybe 8 or 9) but it was too tight for me, then i had an unfiill to half a CC. He pushed my port a bit to see if i was in pain and all was normal. Since then, whenever i slept, either on my back, on my belly, or my shoulder, i keep coughing, and then BAM involuntarily puking my saliva. I havent had a good sleep in 2 weeks and its killing me, i cough as if i have the cold or something! I hate my doctor, thats why i do not see him only for fills, he is materialistic and his checkups costs a lot and i seriously cannot pay 100 usd everytime i have to see him, neverless the costs of checkups if any. Is this normal? should this happen? Keep in mind that there are no other doctors next to where i live that do this procedure! Thanks

HI! i am considereing Brachioplasty (armlift) BUT i am afraid of the scars, you see i hate my band scars and i do not wear 2 pieces swimsuit because of my scars, and i really want to have an armlift so i can wear sleevless things, BUT to have scars i dont know!! are your scars still showing, my wedding is in four months, so i guess i should do the surgery soon, what do you recommend? thanks.

I can eat almost everything but bread LOL! pizza is a big NONO i only eat the toppings hahaah! I eat in small portions now, and most of the times i just hate eating :smile2:

LOL! Funny :crying: are you mocking me

Thanks:) Im still not hungry most of the times, and when i am hungry i barely eat! food is not my passion anymore and whats worse is that i have this acid reflux that is killing me! I guess i will have to visit my doc today:(

This was my question I have been banded for a year now! All is perfect until now! My band is not tight at all, and i can eat small portions of food and not get stuck! Recently in the past 3 weeks or so, when i am sleeping i wake up as if i was being chocked! I keep burping and swallow only salavia and a huge discomfort is felt not in my port but my throat! Yesterday, i also woke up alarmed and forced myself to puke, and only saliva foam came out! Remember this feeling i only have @ night when i am sleeping and wake up alarmed! I cannot go to the doctor as i cannot afford him this month (he charges 150 USD) and i am self pay all the way, also if he wants me to have tests i cannot pay them.. Seems we have the same issue, what did u do if i may know please :thumbup: thanks

I weight myself DAILY when i wake up and i am pissed when i see the numbers go up and then the next day they go down :thumbup:
