Thanks! Your replies made me feel so much more at ease! I'm calling tomorrow to see if I can have a little taken out of the band and the pouch checked. It just didn't make sense that liquids won't go down but solids will. Thank you again!

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am a little desperate. If anyone can help I would appreciate it so much. I had my surgery last July. It's been almost 8 months and I've only lost 45 lbs. I haven't lost hardly anything in about three months. Even with increased Protein. I was told that I would probably only lose weight for 1 year...that means I only have have about 4 months to lose A LOT more. YIKES!!!!! I've had five fills. The last one was a month ago and I've been a little miserable since. I think it may be a little too full. I've been hoping that it would loosen up some by itself because I'm self pay and it will cost me 150.00 to have some taken out. I can eat just fine but liquids are a problem. It feels as if whatever I drink stays in my throat. It tries to come back out hours later when I lay down, which causes me to choke and cough sometimes. My throat burns - gerd, I guess. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!!!!! T
