I am almost 4 yrs. post-op and I'm having a scope done this Friday to see if my band is o.k.? I have been at a stand-still with my weight loss and some days cannot eat anything? I also have coughing and before my band placement I had Gerd. After reading your post, I'm concerned. Did you have any other symptoms beside the pain?

I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I also drink only coffee for breakfast. And I do drink regular, but I heard that you should limit yourself to the caffeine? I have to have my coffee (I believe I'm an addict when it comes to coffee in the morning?). My band is so tight in the morning that it is impossible for me to eat. In the evenings, it's a different story---almost 4 yrs. out with my band and this still boggles me?

See your doctor. It may be time for that 1st fill! It's great that you have already lost 80 without a fill---way to go!!
