    SLIME?? Anybody??

    Wow! And all this time I thought it was my over active sinuses causing this! Very enlightening. 3 years out and still learning. Thank you.

    Anyone Banded Since 2003?

    Hi. I was banded in 2005-3 years out. 80 lb. lost. I too am having issue w/ reflux and GERD. Scares me & I am afraid to sleep. I have taken up sleeping up right & take Nexium. I don't know what band I have, but I've been checked for slipage twice... x-rays. I've been emptied, but I couldn't maintain my weight without it so it is about 3/4 full. I live w/ the GERD. A trade off. From this site, which I only sought out a support site this week, I have already picked up a few tips that might help. (I am looking for answers my doctor doesn't give.) First, no one ever mentioned to me that if you vomit go on liquids for a day or two. No one mentioned the swelling vomiting could cause. Second, someone recommended drinking warm tea to sooth the stomach. I am still looking for a solution for sinus drainage messing with your stomach and I'm sure I'll find it here. I see my doc in Dec. and boy, do I have questions! Would I do this again? In a heart beat! I weigh 171 & my BMI went from 41 to 29. I went from a size 22-24 to a 14. Am I skinny? No. But I can move and I no longer have handicap plates! Don't give up. Keep asking questions and get 2nd opinions! PS- What is sliming?
