Feeling Frustrated .....

and frankly, angry! I've had my band since Feb. 2003 (4+years), have maintained my 150lbs loss for the most part. I had an extended tummy tuck and breast reduction in Jan. 2006 and since then have been steadily slowly gaining. At my lowest I was 175....and now hitting 195...which is NOT FINE! I'm TERRIFIED!!! :paranoid I have a inamed band that holds a max of 4cc. I was at 1 cc and finding it too lose. I went up to 1.25 not enough...1.50...too much. Was fine during the day, but then NASTY night time reflux was happening. I'm now at 1.4 cc and if I'm really careful and don't eat past 7pm...I'm not bad....still getting a little reflux by 5-6am. Any suggestions?? Stop eating earlier perhaps???? :help:

I would try and stop eating by 5 or 6. What time do you go to bed? Also I would try prilosec and zantac daily. My doctor also prescribed me a fluid to help with the acid reflux. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply! Actually i did start nexium and pepcid AC when i feel yucky. I go to bed around 11pm....I only get home at 5:30pm from work....so I guess I'll have to boogie to have something for dinner.....I tried 8pm last night...better, but still a bit early this morning. I'll try to stop at 7 and 6 and see what happens. What do you do if you get hungry? just drink some water or have a cup of tea? Is that alright to have?

Thanks again!
