Sometimes, very rarely I will eat too much/ too late and wake up in the night coughing because of regurgitating.. Then for the next few days I am sort of close to out of breath and struggle to eat anything or even keep down water sometimes. Has anybody else experienced this?

Yes I get severe reflux too, to the point where water burns to even drink. Like I said this happens only very rarely but my god when it does, I experience a world of pain!.. And my band isn't tight it's at a good restriction. Sometimes I have my good weeks and sometimes bad weeks where I eat and I know I'll cause myself discomfort.

I get shoulder pain when I eat too much, does anyone get the same? I'm 18 months post op.

Yes I feel like it could be when I eat.. Not that I'm over eating, it just happens very randomly. It feels just like that pain we speak of post op but much more mild (thank god). It's very annoying it lingers for ages.. I don't drink soft drink or eat bread it just happened out of nowhere one day, I haven't touched my band at all, the last fill appointment I had was November and I had some taken out so I could enjoy Christmas... I'm glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I'm not too sure about that 90 day period. But I do know post op there is NO way of telling how much weight you will lose.. Everyone is different! Don't be disheartened if you don't lose any weight straight up or if you gain weight, a friend of mine had the band about 6 months before I did and she gained weight post op, it took her a couple of fills to start losing and she has done amazingly! Just take it as it comes and try not to weigh yourself or you will become obsessed by the scales. Good luck with your journey, you will do great! )

@@JustWatchMe I've been told stress and anxiety can make it feel like the band is too tight.. So I feel like it's a vicious circle, I'm going to speak with my doc tomorrow and ask him what he recommends and I will make an app to see the psychologist.. I was prepared for the weight loss and the big change in diet but I wasn't expecting these feelings???? Thanks for the support x
