What were your symptoms that lead to the repositioning? My doctor thinks my band has slipped because I was waking up in the middle of the night and coughing up bile and spitting it up like 5 or 6 times a night, so he unfilled me and then slowly re-filled me. It seems to be better, but I may still have problems. If I know what the symptoms are, it may help me make my decision to whether or not I have the surgery to have it fixed because I only have about 20 pounds to go. The surgery is going to cost me around 10 grand since I am unisured and I don't have that kind of money sitting around. I hope you get better and get rid of the nausousness(not sure if I spelled that right). It isn't fun to feel that way. Good luck! Julie

Hi, I am new to the forum. I was banded on 12/12/05 and here are my stats: starting weight 248 current weight 165 goal weight 135-140 I had sleep apnea prior to the lap band and had to use a CPAP machine. Boy did my husband LOVE that. Sleep apnea is gone now. Dr. Curry is my doctor in Cincinnati. He is the best. I just saw him today for a unfill. I have a dilated pouch. I have to go back in four weeks for a fill again. I am looking forward to reading and posting on this site. It is nice to have something like this to refer to.

Thank you. I look forward to reading the posts and getting tips.

Thank you Kendra! It's nice to meet you also. I will call them and see if I can get in. West Chester is perfect for me. Have a nice weekend. It has been a nice one so far.

My name is Julie. I live in Trenton. Dr. Curry is my doctor. I had my surgery in December of 05 and I have lost 83 pounds. Does anyone know of any support groups in the Northern Cincinnati area? I love Dr. Curry, but it is almost and hour to get to his office so the support groups are really too far for me to drive to on a regular basis although I do make the drive for fills and unfills. He is worth it, he is such a good doctor. I really wish all of my doctors were like him.
