Hi everyone, I was banded on July 14, 2011 and so far everything has been great. I went to lunch with a friend three days ago and had a pb'ing episode. I didn't think too much about it since it has happend before. Since that lunch everything that I eat has given me acid reflux. Food and water goes down fine. Has anyone had the same thing happened to them. I am scared something is wrong since I am self-pay. I have a scheduled drs visit next week and will discuss with him but I wanted to know if this is normal.

As promised, here is the update. I called my physicuan this morning and they told me to come in immediately. He did a slight unfill and I have had lunch since then and no relux. Thank God! Once again thank you for your replies and support.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Shirley, I had a fill on Friday 1 1/2 weeks prior to the incident. I am definately calling the dr tomorrow morning. Onthego, I wish you the best of luck. I will keep you guys posted on what the dr says.

I also go to a support group at the hospital I had my surgery and my surgeon host it each month. I find it very helpful, he has great knowledge and being someone who struggled with his weight in the pass, gives him tremendous understanding of the struggles we face with food on a daily basis. I look forward going each month and have made a connection at the support group with another banster that was banded on the same day as me and we are able to share out journey's ups and downs with each other.

I was banded on 7/14/11and have lost 25lbs including 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I just had my 3rd fill last Friday and feel a little frustrated with my progress maybe I have an unrealistic expectation but was hoping that I would be further along in the process. But enough whining my question is where in the process did you start seeing consistent and significant weight loss? I realize that everyone is different and that I didn't put the weight on overnight and should be more patient but I am interested in finding out at what time or fill everyone started to have a consistent loss. Thank you for all your comments in advance.

I was banded on 7/14 and lost 22lbs including 2 week pre-op diet. I am starting mushies in 2 days.

hi everyone, I am on day six of my 14 day liquid diet. It has been very hard but at the end I think the return on this small investment will be enormous. I am getting banded on July 14 an I am so exited. Hang in there everyone. We CAN DO THIS!
