Hi all.

My name is Linda and I am new to this site. I was banded on 05-16-07 and to date have lost 105 pounds. I was doing great until October, when i began to have serious stomach problems. My fill was removed in November adn i had finally decided to have it put back in and BAM the stomach problems are back. My problem only happens at night after i fall asleep. I wake up with a mouthful of bile or vomit. ( I know YUCK!). It seems to go on most of the night. I have tried harldy eating adn not eating at bedtime. Any one out there with suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Sounds exactly like what I did. My Doctor told me my band was overfilled and had to remove some fill. The next fill I had, I did the same thing. Isn't that taste the most awful thing ever! Anyway, my doctor tells me that my band has slipped. They can prescribe some prescription antacids which might help - it didn't help the night time thing for me, though. Good luck! let me know how you do.

I am going to have my fill taken out tomorrow...I am also going to push to find out what is going on. They did do the barium swallow test adn it does not look like my band slipped so i will wait and see....thanks for your comments

Good luck! Let me know how you do after you get your fill reduced.
