I'm new here, and i think I need help. Had the surgery in 3/07; have lost 45 lbs and having probs. I can eat a lot, very little restriction, and have bad hartburn(but have allways had bad reflux). Also something else is going on-have had 3 episodes of severe tremors, lasting about 1/2 hour, and then quits. It is not my diabetes and have no fever. Could the band have come off? How can I find out? Call me Jo

You need to see your Dr ASAP. I doubt if the tremors have anything to do with the band but something is wrong and shouldn't be ignored. As far as the reflux, see your band Dr about that.

I think it is normal to not have any restriction yet. This is still a healing phase. As far as the tremors go, I can remember right after I got banded I had shakes really bad that would last for about an hour. I just was cold and could not get warm. Maybe you have a virus or something?? As far as the heartburn, you say you have always had it? Then in my opinion, as long as it does not get worse I don't see any realy problems. I had really bad heartburn before my surgery but he fixed a hiatel hernia and I haven't had any since the surgery. If you feel concerned just call your doctor but I bet you are fine,. Good luck keep us informed.
