Has anyone had problems choking on pouch(?) contents? Even when I sleep sitting up with pillows there are times when I wake up feeling the 'stuff' trying to get into my nasal passages. I've been banded for just over a year now, and this has been only going on for the last couple months, but is getting worse all the time.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

To echo what others have said. I also have this issue. Try ceasing eating earlier (like hours) before you go to bed. I stop at 7:00 and go to bed at 10:00. Most of the time this fixes it.

But this is well and truly a sign of being too tight. I am, in fact, a bit too tight (for two weeks of my cycle and a bit too loose for the other two weeks), but we tried taking out a bit of Fluid and I could eat everything in sight. The dr and I agreed to a skosh too tight for a few weeks each month is ok since I am getting close to goal.

But keep a good eye on this. Best to mention it to your doctor.
