Yes, definitely call your doctor. It really does sound like you are too tight. Fills can take up to 2 weeks to take affect, and that's just about the right amount of time from May 19.

While you're waiting to get in to see the doctor, don't eat dense Protein (or really any solid foods) for at least 3 hours before bedtime. Try drinking some warm tea or at least a glass of Water about 30 minutes before bed to help rinse out your upper stomach.

Put bricks under the legs of the head of your bed. Just sleeping on pillows won't do it, you have to elevate the bed.

Please get this seen to as soon as you can. Reflux like you describe can lead to aspiration pneumonia and other not so nice problems.

I agree, call for a slight unfill. I had to do the same thing. I was a bit too tight, and as soon as he took out some, I have not had this problem since. Good luck. Karen

PS:my surgeon was totally willing to follow my instructions, he said you know both your band and your body!

I agree with what the other posters said. This is one of the sure signs of being too tight and can cause all sorts of problems. I really think you should call your surgeon's office and get in there ASAP/today. They can take out a very tiny bit of Fluid and you just may find yourself at your sweet spot.

What is spew? I only know of it as a verb. :)

If you mean vomit - sounds like you are having reflux. Sudden onset of reflux can be inidicative of needing adjustment and/or slip. Notice I didn't say "means you have," so don't panic. Just do call and speak with your care provider about it.

Before you lay down for bed, how do you feel? Do you feel "normal" or are you feeling any "stuck" feelings, or pressure that isn't always there?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
