I had lap band done over 16 months ago and have lost 88 lbs. Im concerned because I have a sore throat (esophagus) slot lately.. any one else have this problem? Another thing I was wondering is like if I drink water and then lay down I have this gurgling thing that goes on up and down my throat (not sure if I am explaining this clear enough) and lastly.. how long should you wait from eating and laying down? I must say I have been away from the forum for awhile and I will be researching and chatting on here to find my answers.. but any help you can give me would be appreciated :blushing: thank you Missy

does anyone feel a bulge or swollen where their port is? i wonder if this goes down.. i hope so it has me a little worried, other than that im feeling good

i cant even have purrees til april 23rd and i was banded on 4/7!(although i know in the long run this is best) I didnt have alot of pains but i was so stressed out. I didnt sleep at all in the hospital! so last night i got alot of sleep, woke up every 2 hrs but went right back to sleep. im still nervous..didnt realize where my port was and i felt this bump and i was worried i tore a muscle etc, when i was in the hospital , I have to lift my self up alot from my back and my stomach was killing me, at home i am laying and sleeping on my side and its easier to get around

ok so i am the bad one in the group..lol Ive had TWO final big macs, bacon, and steak! And Im glad I did. But Im ready to move forward now.. wednesday I start my liquid diet. Missy

I am worried about erosion. like what foods are not good to eat. I heard pineapple juice and alcohol are not good, im trying to read more online to get better educated, but sometimes you have to search through so much to find the topic u are looking for, my surgery is 4/7/08

I only have to be on the liquid diet 5 days

can u add me? my surgery is 4/7/08 and i weigh 225 right now.
