  1. I have had my band going on three years now. I haven't had an adjustment in over a year, and this started with me about six months ago. Coughing all night, maybe about two or the times per month. Got so bad finally that I wound up in the hospital last week with pneumonia. I came up with a theory. I'm no doctor but I'm still testing it. Everyone that is having this happen, do you sleep on your stomach? I did constantly and I think the pressure on the band pushes food/liquid back up while you sleep. Been trying to sleep on my side and back the last few nights. So far so good.

  3. Please don't be discouraged. You will get there. Dont watch the scale so much. It will torture you. It's going to take a year or so for the dramatic results. Just keep doing what you are doing. You didn't lose last week but you didn't gain either....
