im in almost the same boat! i can hardly sleep my heartburn has been so bad. ive started taking prilosec OTC again to get it under control. i also had to get an "unfill" and i'm worried i may need another "unfill" if this heartburn doesnt get better. I"m glad to know i'm not alone even though its not a fun thing to be together in!

good luck with your band! it really is a great tool if you learn how to work it, i havn't quite done that yet, 8 months after being banded so use me as an example and educate yourself now on anything and everything! i'm sure everything will work out great! i've lost 70 pounds and it makes a difference in everything i do. but my only advice is educate yourself!

:sad:While I'm loving being able to wear the summer clothes i was never able to wear before, I've lost the comfort of a daily schedule. Which has really seemed to mess up my lapband! I've lost 70 pounds and got my surgery in December, with only a little under a year left to utilize all these special doctors I'm lost with what to do?! During the school year, I hardly had to throw up, and now with no job and no school my sleep schedule is wack and my eating schedule is worse. Not only is it unhealthy for me but it's a waste of this great tool that was given to me, maybe I just need motivation? I have no idea, I'm lost.

I'm in the exact same boat that you are in! I wish I had some advice for you, but I came here seeking advice for this exact problem. I am on pepcid OTC as well, I hope we find some answers and can share with eachother!
