My last filling was in November and its pretty tight. I've been ok until the last 2 weeks where I've had to keep a cup of water on my bed side and sleep at a propped up angle because ill wake up coughing and choking on spit. What could it be? Also, because I paid out of pocket for the surgery, I'm worried if there is a complication that my insurance won't cover anything I might need to get done to fix it. Any suggestions?

I was having this problem a few weeks ago. But it turns out I was eating too close to my bedtime and I was having reflux issues.

I have the same issue if I eat close to bed time. Reflux is very common with the band. Try not eating anything after 6pm and see if that helps.

Thanks to you both. I will definitely try that and see how it works out.
