Higher Altitude & the band
Ashleigh Childress replied to bout-time's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I fly for work frequently... Recommend that you take it easy while you are elevated... Protein shakes, liquids, Mishima, etc... My band usually goes backup normal a week after I get home... However when I travel a lot over the course of a month, I seem to have more trouble. -

Coughing And Acid Reflux
Ashleigh Childress replied to jacqulinep's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had the same symptoms this week. Consistent night cough and acid reflux. I went in and did a barium swallow which indicate I had pouch dilation. They took 2 ccs out of my current 5.9 cc fill. Immediately I felt relief. I could sink a bottle of Water in less than 2 mins- it used to take me 10 mins. I was definitely too tight. I'm on a liquid diet for 3 days and then soft foods for 3 days. I go back in 3 weeks to do another swallow test and get a fill. My surgery date was 4-17-12. Lost 80 lbs so far. Last fill was in December 2012. They think that I got too tight by any of the following reasons: lost of recent air travel, getting off birth control, and water retention from running and not being able to drink fluids such as water. In the past 2 months, I hadn't dropped any weight but remained constant and I figured it was the addition of exercise. But maybe I was too tight. I'm glad I went in. I feel much better and am looking forward to an easy recovery. I'm concerned I will gain in tho 3-6 weeks but for now... It's my mindset. I've got to remember that this is only a tool and 2 ccs isn't an excuse to run put and eat a cheeseburger ( which I haven't been able to eat since I've been banded). Hope this helps. When on his sight, I'd get frustrated because ppl would ask questions about heir problems but never follow up as to what happened, what the doc said, and what the future plan was. -

Another thing to consider... I had ear problems after I lost about 60 lbs. ear doc said that rapid weight loss can affect ears. Apparently, I had lost weight in my ear causing an off balance... My ears would just pop randomly though.

Coughing And Acid Reflux
Ashleigh Childress replied to jacqulinep's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
So what did the doc say? I'm having same issues. It's been over a year since its been placed and over 4 months since I've had a fill. Only thing that has changed is that I'm running 2 miles 4-5x per week. My hope is I'm too tight and retaining water. I pray it's not slippage. -

So I have piles and piles of clothes, some that have been worn only once and some never at all. I plan on doing a garage sale in April. It will most likely be in Keller or trophy Club area. I will post closer to the date. -
