I think you need a second opinion. Reflux during the night, coughing or vomiting at night are all red flags that you're too tight and even a small unfill might help. Over time you can develop Barrett's (sp?) esophagus or even esophagial cancer...even acid induced asthma. There are worse things than a small unfill. Don't let this go on untreated (I'm scheduling now with the Gastro. to see what's going on and I don't even have night problems). Feel better soon!

My DD has a possible job opportunity in Centerville, VA. We don't know the area at all and want to get some ideas of where to start looking for an apartment, and so she can determine if she'll be able to afford living there. She's 22 and will be living on her own, so safety is a big concern. She also doesn't know anyone there so she'd like to know if there are areas/apartments where more young people live. I've ruled out the Dulles area due to airport noise, but the area around/south of I-66 around the 3 areas listed is where I was starting. Anything at all you could share with me would be appreciated! Thanks so much! -BG

Nina- Just wanted to say congratulations on your upcoming banding. Dr. Eid gave my Magee seminar and he was really nice and very informed (I ended up chosing AGH though)...Eid seems like he'd be very easy to talk to, which is important with fills, etc. Congrats! -BG

You look great JT!!! No one would even know you had ever been heavier. Shopping must have been fun in those new sizes!

Yes, I FINALLY reached goal!!!! It's all gravy now! Blogs this week Here: http://bandgroupiethesweetspot.blogspot.com/ -Lookie Here -Linner- Sides and Snacks -My DH has an addiction -We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming -Really? Nobody?

Sorry, I'm a little behind with all of you as I've been having some issues (gallbladder, etc.). I'll get caught up today! Here are my blogs about what's been going on, another nutrition blog on sweets, and my gift for reaching goal. Enjoy! Oh, and don't forget ANYONE can leave comments (just chose the anonymous and write your name so I'll know it was you, and just keep pushing that post/publish button, it's stubborn and takes several times and a word recognition). -BG I'm Stoned: 3/2/10 I'm Stoned ~ THE SWEET SPOT Sweets and Sugar-Free: 3/1/10 Sweets & Sugar-Free ~ THE SWEET SPOT Dizzy Blonde: 3/1/10 Dizzy Blonde *Update* ~ THE SWEET SPOT My Sexy New IRS Friends: http://bandgroupiethesweetspot.blogspot.com/2010/02/22810-my-sexy-new-irs-friends.html

Dancing naked is a daily occurance, so I celebrated with new kitchen appliances...'stainless'...isn't that everyones goal gift LOL! Thanks guys!

Pressure in the chest is what I felt with anything going down until those internal stitches healed. Just keep your doc informed and take it slow. -BG

CONGRATULATIONS Bander! Hope your home and healing well...keep us posted! -BG

Call your surgeon NOW! Not to alarm you, but this is NOT normal. Your internal stitches have not healed yet and vomiting anything up (you've got 'sliming' and it's the mucus your esophagus produces) can cause complications with your band at this point. Please call them today and let them know what is going on...you made need a small unfill until you heal. -BG

Good for you! It helps a lot to see the changes...lookin' good!!! -BG

Congratulations! Awesome WL! Goal Limbo is tough...WL just slows down...keep getting back to basics and you'll get there.

CONGRATULATIONS Bander! Take it slow and keep ahead of the pain meds. Heal soon!
