First of all, I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and Happy New Year!!!

I have been having acid reflux lately and have woke up several time coughing on my spit or something that came up in the middle of the night. So yesterday, I was eating lunch and my food came right back up....I was eating little pieces of creamy chicken. So after that I went to CVS pharmacy and picked my up some Maalox, and I took 1 tsp with a sip of tea and about 20 minutes after that...it came back up. About an hour later I had to go and PB my spit. So, I called my Dr's office and he is out of town for 2 weeks. They told me to go on liquids for 5 days to see if it helps. No back up Dr around here to take a fill out when my regular Dr is gone. Last night woke up twice coughing, choking...so I went and slept on the couch sitting up....

But, last night I went and got Campbell's Soup at Hand Cream of Broccoli and it went down and stayed down. They taste really good.....

I am having the Blended Vegetable Medley or the Velvety Potato for lunch today.....

So, that is my story for now..........

I am hoping that the liquids help......and this band is so unpredictable.....

Kelly, I hope you will go see your band surgeon this coming week. This is not something to ignore. I know you've worked too hard to risk losing your band now. Best of luck to you!

Good News!!!!!! I called Dr. Spivak's answering service and actually talked to him and he is going to help me...

That's great news, Kelly!! I sure hope he finds everything in the right place. Keep us posted!

Do you mean you are changing doctors? Are you trying to get an unfill?

Kelly, give us more than that! When are you seeing him (hopefully she's there right now.)

Hope everything is fine with you Kelly!

When I am super tight, I always have a milkshake from mcd's. Or anything liquid with a high sugar content. Seems to open up the band a bit.
