I have had my band since August 2004 and have about 3cc. I have started having problems more often in keeping things down. Before each day was a new beginning with what I can keep down and what I can eat but, lately it seems like nothing works until later in the day. I can't keep coffee, broth, water, etc. down. I know stress can tighten the band but even on days I'm not stressed I have problems. I spit up everything and now I have noticed a burning in my throat/chest. Anyone else have this problem?
