Hello All-This is my first post-I am a male-Age 71--I started at 300 lbs-Had the banding done in Huntsville Alabama-Sept 2007;I have lost 120 pounds-Present weight 180.The main problem I am having happens when I sleep-or lie down.I like to take an afternoon nap-after lunch.And nothing passes thru my band when I am lying down-which makes me feel like upchucking-also over a period of time-as I swallow soliva- it fills up-and cuts off my breathing-Making a rush to the bathroon immediately necessary.Please dont tell me that I am the only one having this problem..Thanks Smitty.. les46932@hotmail.com
