After mt last fill, about 4 months ago, I,ve been having trouble sleeping without waking up coughing my brains out because of fluid being pushed back up and I guess when I swallow it back down some gets into my lungs(like swallowing something the wrong way would do to you).

I believe I'm at my sweet spot and don't want to try an unfill because I'll start eating more and then, here comes the weight again.:thumbup: Not sure what I'm going to do. I can't keep coughing like this anymore. And, I've taken to eating the slider foods. The easy way out. I've lost 50lbs. and I need to lose more. Maybe about another 30lbs or so to get to my goal.

Coughing at night is a big sign of acid reflux, which can be very dangerous to your esophagus and your pouch. A small unfill may be all you need, but it sounds like you need a hernia repair as well? Best wishes. -BG

Thanks, I have an appointment on Wednesday the 30th to have a slight unfill. I'll also talk to him about the hernia as well.
