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!

i'm absolutely terrified, my surgery is today and it JUST HIT ME that i have a negative relationship with food. it JUST HIT ME that this whole time i've been lying to myself. I'm sitting here thinking about the diet coke i can't sneak in before surgery, no pizza sweedish fish AH its just like i have no :sad:idea what i'm feeling or going through, which is what lead me here..anyyyyy ideas?

My surgery is today and its so nice to see the panic in the writing of someone as close to their surgery date. I was a cool cat until today i woke up at six cant get back to sleep and dont leave until 9 to the hospital. my stomache is all tied up. anesthesia never gave me issues before i sure hope it doesnt now...ill check back in, i hope your surgery wen great!!!

December 30,2008 is my surgery date [today!!!] i couldnt sleep last night and now i'm up all early. i'm not leaving my house until like 8:45 but i've been up since six. im more nervous about the psychological changes. what ive always associated myself with and what today will bring for me:teeth_smile:
