Hello All,I am shocked to see so many ppl are having the same problem. I was banded December of last year and for the past 3months i have been waking up several times trying to catch my breath (almost as if i stopped breathing while i am asleep) i start coughing then vomiting! I didnt think this problem was even related to having the band since i am perfectly fine during the day no food getting stuck or any complications food/drinks go down smoothly, only at night while I am asleep this happends. I went to my doctor yesterday (regular dr.) to see what is up with me. he called me today and let me know all bloodwork and other test which were takin came out negative. he mentioned in my x-ray they found I have 5% pnemonia and are going to start me on antibiotics. after reading BAYli1's post above i am very concerned and scared
