I think your reflux may not be a symptom of your lap band..I would talk to your primary about your gallbladder and also maybe possible ulcers......good luck to you and I hope you are feeling better soon...

Omg what an awesome update!!! So proud of you!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!

Pasta is a definate no no in the lap banders diet..breads, rice, pasta...any starchy food...make sure you take little sips when it comes down to drinking things...no more big gulps..its a complete life change....I was banded 2 years ago and as a person who drank at least a 12 pack of Mt dew a day...I have now not touched soda in 2 years....my health is too important for that " one little treat" I have lost 100lbs and now that I am in a place of significant weight loss, I allow a treat every now and then....in the beginning it is vital to stick completly to a banded program...good luck in the future...u can do it!!

Thank you all so much! I am so excited....I will post before and after pics once I'm up.and moving around!! I will probably be on here a lot once I've had my surgery, I won't be able to do much else!!! Smooches to all and to all a goodnight!!!

Hi there! I was banded 2 years ago and am down 100 lbs with 50 more to go...pcp decided that because of my extensive back injuries, that now is the time to start plastic surgery....so...10/24/12, I will be having a breast augmentation done...my surgeon is familiar with banded patients and does surgeries out of the weight loss center where I was banded....I'm super.excited yet super scared!!! Much like when I was banded then to find out it was the best thing I have ever done!!
