I am having a serious problem with my lapband. I have had my band for 5 years. I seem to have a continious mucus and saliva production coming from my sinuses. It gets much worse after I eat. I have made sure that I'm eating and drinking at least 4 hours before I go to bed. Once I go to sleep, it's like my throat relaxes and I start to gag and PB (throw up). It's not food coming up, but all this mucus and saliva. This can go on all night. My primary care Dr. has put me on an antihistime, Prevacid and Singulair. It seemed to help for awhile, but is coming back. Has anyone had this problem. It's killing me!:crying:

I finally went to the doctor. He let all the saline out. It was definately from being overfilled for to long. He left me completely open for 3 weeks to see if I had any damage done to my esophagus. I was fine, so he gave me another fill, but not near as much. I'm going to have to go back and have more taken out though. It's not as bad as it was before, but I still PB everything I try to eat. Thanks to all, at least I now know what it was!!!
