I had a fill a week and a half ago. It seems tight and I am working with the band as the quantity of food that I can eat has been greatly reduced. Since the fill I notice when I take a nap or go to sleep, I find myslef waking up with food kind of caught in my throwt. Has anyone had this experiance?

Sounds like it could be reflux. How long have you been banded?

I have been banded for about 4 months and lost about 42lbs. I was thinking maybee my fill was to tight? Thanks for the reply

Sounds like we were banded around the same time. I personally would talk to my doctor and see what his/her opinion is.

Good luck!

Sounds Like a plan!!

Thank you

Too tight, too tight!!!! *flashing red Lights with arrows pointing to Tod* *warning sirens going off in the back ground* *the PA system sounds, "Tod Campbell, you are too tight!"*

Get thee a small unfill and feel better. Take good care of that band.

Thanks. I will give my doctor a call and take care of this.

Happy Holidays!

Tod, yep, that's reflux. Your esophagus relaxes when you sleep and if you're horizontal, material still in the pouch can migrate up. Lots of people go through this, myself included. There are lots of behavioral tricks to try--not eating or drinking after a certain time in the PM, raising the head of your bed, avoiding trigger foods--but often a slight unfill will help more than anything.
