Don't worry or look at Utube. Surgery hurts, fills don't. You will be happy you did!

thank you, I will call today. I slight unfill, so you still were snug, but no that much? I stayed up last night and went on every website I could find and many had the band removed due to slippage. I don't want that to happen.

Angie, I am thrilled to hear you have the same issues. Day time is tolerable,but night I am in the chair and when I do fall asleep I awake to throw up. I can't take this anymore. I am scared my bad slipped. Margaret

I am so grateful for this community. It is the best I have seen. I had lap band 2006 and sailed thru it beautifully. I never had heartburn or reflux prior to surgery. Now I can't sleep, I wake up with that choking feeling and gasping for air and there is spit up on my pillow. My intestinal DR put me on Omeprazole and I took 6 Zantac a day. Stopped coffee, cigs, and basically all food, drink only Water. Went to Urgent Care due to a cough on Christmas Eve--I had broncitis. I explained the GERD/ acid reflux story with him and he upped the dose of Omesprazole to 40mg and mentioned it could be the band. COuld it be an overfill? I am lost and desperate for sleep! I saw the Aloe Vera solution and I will get asap. Any other ideas?? many thanks!
