Thank you guys so much! I haven't had any problems with this fill until this week, so it is really wierd. I have been reading on the blogs about bands slipping and this can be an indicator?!?? I think I am going to stop at GNC and get some papaya enzyme! And 6:30, I am going to try this! And no way do I want to end up in the ER!!! That would be a big damper on vacation, my kids would kill me! Anj

Yes, I have had both of these happen. One, if you don't chew your food enough, it hurts going down and I too get the back pain. And if it goes down wrong I get the froffy stuff you are talking about, it is discusting. If you just got filled, you should be on liquids for a few days, for your system to get used to the band being bigger. I would stick to liquids, soft foods and work your way back up. Then hopefully you can avoid the back pain and the gross slavia. Take your time eating and don't eat too much! Anj:tongue_smilie:

Hm.....intersting. Is that was acid reflex is? I know retarded question, but I have never heard of such a thing before!! I think I am going to call the doctor today and see what the deal is. Thanks for the note! Anj

Some times I feel like a nut sometimes I don't....(Almond Joy). Ok, seriously. I think I might be going crazy! THis past week has been so hard on me, I don't get it! It has been almost two months since my fill to 5cc on my 10 cc band. This week, I feel like I need to go back to all liquids! :eek::thumbup::angry:And night time, forget about it. It is no wonder I have lost five pounds this week, beucase I can barley eat! Went to lunch yeterday at Applebee's ordered boneless wings for lunch. Was only able to eat two! And I was stuffed! Tried to eat supper, that wan't happening. I defentially need to drink more water...Doc would not be happy! And more protein. This week the wiedest thing started to happen. It was like I was starting to throw up in my sleep! Where did this come from???? :w00t: I haven't read about it in any books or online. I am going crazy!:cursing: I wake up and start choking :mad:and have to get up to brush my teeth. THis has been happeing for the last four nights and I can't sleep becuase it is happening about five or six times a night! Why??? Never has happened before?!?!? Stressful.:cursing: Hopefully today is a turn around....going on Vacation and don't want ot ruin it for my kids, as I don't think they want to me up all night with me in the room!

I am so glad to see I am not alone! Your blog really made me laugh! I too am filled to about a 5 and am having the same issues. Some days are really good, and others not some much! I too, look back and see how much I used to eat and wow, no wonder I weighed too much! And I thought I was a good eater! Keep up the good work! Anj

Hi! This is me to a T, but 8 years younger. I had my surgery last wednesday and so far so good! I am too worried about this, but I guess if I loose that much weight the skin will have to go as well! I guess I could consider that a great accomplishment! At first, I was in a lot of pain the first three days....now I am fine, a little tender. Hang in there! You'll look amazing!:tongue2:

Hi! I am all new to this! But I am looking for support of others as I make this journey myself! I am the proud mom of three children, Isaiah, Caiden and Laila. I received my lap band on Wed. I am still leary of this whole situation as I have tried everything to loose weight. Dr. Verstege is my doctor and he is great! If I need anything he is there! I am hoping to loose 100 lbs. I know it is going to be a long journey, but I am more than dedicated. I am full of questions, in fact I jumped on yesterday to ask questions and everyone was quite helpful! Besides being a full time mom, I am a teacher at an all girls school and I love it! I have been married to my best friend for almost three years and are hoping to go on vacation this summer....this is a huge step for me! I am glad to be here and to hear everyone elses story!
