Just found this site...

Hi ~ I'm Valarie and I had the Lap Band on August 4th, 2008. I weighed in at 343 on the day of my surgery and am at 305 currently! I can't wait to get under that 300 lbs. mark!!

My doctor is Timothy Eldridge out of Oklahoma City and he has been wonderful. He is one of the kindest doctors I have ever been to.

However, I am having a problem this week. I had a fill on Nov. 5th and everything was going great until Monday (Nov. 17th). I came down with a cold and started burping up my food that evening. Ever since then I have been doing okay until dinner and then dinner doesn't agree with me...no matter what it is. Then yesterday I felt queasy after lunch and was nauseous after dinner. An hour or so after I ate I took about 3 small sips of water and everything came up. I had been attributing it to my cold but surely not 3 days later. Has anyone else felt this way, a couple of weeks after a fill the feeling changes when you eat? When I called the nurse this morning she pretty much bitched me out for not calling sooner but again I was contributing it to the cold and the cough syrups (which are so thick) and mucous in my stomach (I know - TMI). :cursing: Can anyone else relate?
