2 years post lap band, 4cc band. I lost 40lb, I have 30 more to loose.

My surgeon had a hard time placing the band due to a previous hernia repair, to it's not in perfect position. I do have restriction, but not great. I can eat eggs for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and a full supper. If I eat in the evening I cough at night. Do I need to have this band repositioned? I go for a scope in November. Frustrated and loosing hope!

What time are you eating dinner? Are you eating more than 1 cup of food at dinner? Are you measuring and logging in your food? I know I am terrible if I don't log what I eat. (Either I get in a hurry and don't write it down and end up eating more than I should or I eat something stupid.) When I don't write it down, I don't lose weight.

Hopefully the scope will shed some light on your band placement.

Night cough is a red flag and can be a sign of being too tight or a slip. I'm glad you're having a scope done but you also need to have a barium swallow so the position of your band can be checked.

Best wishes.

meat 1st then vegies, then starch, oh yes! I can eat more than 1 cup, in fact im still hungry after 1 cup, however some day's this is not the case, I get stuck right away, maybe i didnt chew enough and ate to quick. But for the majority Im able to eat well. I don't write and measure, Ive been on weight watchers long enough(in the past) to know what portion and caloric intake im consuming.

You may be surprised at some calorie counts! My fitness pal opened my eyes! Did you know a small milkshake at in & out burger is 580 calories! A frozen margarita is 550! I thought I knew a lot but I was wrong! :-) good luck!

I had the same problems, but when I went for my scope, my Dr. Took out and I have gained 20 lbs. If I had known what I know now I would have told him to leave it in.

What did they find after the scope? How bad was your slip, and did he not offer to fix it?

He just took out a cc and did nothing, and I have still not lost, doing ever thing that I'm told even talked to the nurtritionest and still not loseing, mad as hell.

Did that eliminate the coughing and reflux?
