Hi all! Was banded last yr april 30th, weighed 265 and im now 170. Last oct I developed acid reflux, sucks! I went in for an unfill last oct ftom 4.5cc to 2.5cc. So my weight has stabilized for the past few months I've been at 170 which im about 20lbs from my goal weight. But here in the past week the reflux has returned. Its like it comes and goes. I have prescribed nexium and it helps some but not the way I thought it would. And I only reflux at night. Ill wake up out of my sleep vomiting and sometimes it comes out my nose. I don't have much restriction idk what I should do! Get more out?

Hi all! I was banded last yr April 30th and im now ten lbs away from 100lb weight loss. The Lap Band has definitely been a journey/learning experience but worth it all in all. One thing Ive noticed in the past few months is I'm darker under my eyes. Ive never had this problem. I don't know if it's because of the weight loss. Or just because my face isn't as full as it use to be. Anyone experience this? Or any advice/ suggestions.

Thanks for all the advice!! No I dont take me nexium every day, I would only take it when I noticed the symptoms of me getting reflux, but I guess now maybe I should be taking it everyday. Acid reflux is all new to me, I see my doctor on the 26th and ill get checked out and go from there

Thanks everyone for your replies and advice ♥

Yep I understand but sleep is more important. I guess I'll go and get more out and go from there. I never had issues with acid reflux and it sucks

Well I take a multi vitamin and about a week ago I started taking a iron pill. Im definitely cold all the time now, idk if it's just bc of the weight loss or what

I have a darkness where the eyes meet my cheek area, toward the nose. Crease... maybe somewhat. I just started to you that clinique even better eye cream, I never wore any type of makeup before but I got this and a concealer.

Hello all! I've been banded for about 8mths now, whew it has been a journey (trial and error). About 3 days ago I began to feel tight and not have much of an appetite. Liquids stay down just fine but solid foods not so much. There's been no change, but the weather has got cooler. I live in TX and this is our first cold snap. Is the band affected by weather, has anyone else had this issue? Just curious

So I've been banded a while now, and things are ever changing with the band as we all know. I recently realized cooler temps affected me lol...I've never had this issue before but for some reason I get an airy feeling throughout the day/night... it's not necessarily belching. Just a feeling of air bubbles, especially after I drink anything, even water... Anyone else experience this?

Great to know I'm not the only one. Ill be in Dallas this weekend go cowboys! Lol hope we beat the saints

Thank you guys!!!!

Thanks for the response!

I thought about that, I really feel like the fill is what made things worst, so hopefully after I get some out ill be ok.

A month ago I developed acid reflux, never had a problem b4, Doc prescribes me nexium. A wk ago I go for a fill, & since my fill it seems like I vomiting at night. Late in the night 2/3 am well after I've consumed anything and its mainly liquid. Could be too tight or reflux worst bc of fill?

Wow thanks for keeping me in your prayers and the best of luck with your surgery and new path forward. Ill keep everyone updated!

Wow, glad you're all fixed up now. I go to the doctor tues, first ill have him do a slight unfill, and tell him I'd also like a GI test to check my band for any abnormalities... Hopefully it's no bad news!

Thx for the replies. I go to the doc Tuesday. As far as a slip, you hear all the stories... Not good! I pray that's not it, any other symptoms occurred with your slip?

Hi all! I've been banded for about 4 mths and I've lost 60lbs! It's been a journey do far. New issue- for some reason yesterday I woke up with this gurgling feeling, makes a noise. And burping throughout the day even when not eating or anything. It felt like something was in the center of my throat, tried pepto and this seems to have helped. I never experienced indigestion or reflux so I'm not sure of the symptoms. But before my surgery I was treated for H-pylori could this be the problem?

Hi all! Been banded for about 4 mths now, no complications until two days ago. I woke up with a feeling of something sitting in my throat with lots of belching/burping all day. The feeling of something sitting in my throat has passed but not the belching and burping. This happens without eating or drinking anything. And it's not loud just gurgling feeling. Also I've began to have a piercing feeling on my left side like under my breast. Anyone else experience this? I can still keep food and liquid down. It's been about a mth since my last fill. I have no clue, thinking I may call my doctor tomorrow.

Yes I will call

I went from 4.5 cc to 5. I go back today to have an adjustment. The belching wont stop even in my sleep, and no soft foods so maybe I'll just have a little taken out. I was banded on April 30th and I've lost 57lbs. I'm still avergaging 10 lbs a month so I think taking a little out will be ok.

Hi all. I received my 3rd fill this past Thursday. Since then I've had constant belching like bubbly feeling even without eating. I'm able to keep liquid down but I do get a little pressure. I've tried to eat mash potatoes and refried beans, soft food and it comes up. At first I thought I just needed to give it a few days but could I be too tight???

Thx I'm going back today
