Hiya. I had my band done in march 2009 and have lost 112lbs. I still have another 42 to go. I have been suffering with terrible acid reflux over the last few months. The thing that really upsets me is waking up in the middle of the night with the drowning/choking feeling. It's awful. I found that this feeling is worse on the days when I haven't eaten anything at all.
I have had a few ups and downs with my band with over fills and not eating appropriate food or chewing it properly so this year my weight has been up and down with all this. I found that taking any medication earlier in the evening and go to bed with a rennies/tums in my mouth seems to work a treat.
I have often wondered whether I should get a barium meal to see if there has been any slippage/hiatus hernia. I suppose I'm scared to coz a fuss coz I don't want them to take any Fluid away or worse take my band away!!!
