Hi everyone!! It's been a while. I'm down about 60lbs... a bit disappointed that is all the weight I lost. I pretty much stopped losing all together. I'm ok with my weight right now... The only problem that i had a fill about 6 weeks ago, and i now have developed reflux!!! It's horrible!! It happens at night... acid actually comes up into the throat, and mouth by itself.. like vomit in your sleep! I will get up maybe 2x a nite choking! I'm fine during the day, but I'm having the problem at night. I cut off drinking or eating anything around 7... but no luck. I take previcid 2x a day, but no relief. I have an apt. w/ the doctors tomorrow.. hopefully he can figure something out w/o unfilling me!!! But I have to honestly say... Getting the band was the best thing I ever did for myself. Best wishes to all!! Lucy

Lucy, 60 lbs is no crying matter! I'm proud of you! Good job! The reflux could be a sign of too tight of band, and it could also be causing your not being able to lose weight! Ask your doc, maybe he has some advice or he could take a little out of your band!

Take care!
