Please do not beat yourself up over this. I never heard of lapband intolerance either and my doctor did not mention it until I had problems. My band is around as full as it can get and all I do is eat.My doctor told me after I had these issues that if this didn't work they would not do anything else.I have acid reflex but not as bad as before. My son is a GI doc so he put me on some meds thatt helped that. I weighed 237 before the band. The week after the band was put in I lost 30 lbs. For the next 5 years I went up and down with my weight. No big loss no big gain. But, I broke my ankle last year and immediately lost 30 more lbs. over 2 months. I will be thinking of you

Laura: I hate to admit it but yes, I have gained some weight back; about 15lbs. I also have no willpower. It's like, Okay I can eat this ice cream and be good tomorrow. The reason I asked about sleep apena is because I have that and when I wear my mask at night I do not have the acid reflex. My biggest problem now is my lack of willpower

I had the exact same thing, even my doc retired. It was so bad the stuff was coming up in the middle of the night thru my nose and mouth. I had the fill thaken out for 6 months and slowly put back in. I mild acid reflux at night. By chance do you have sleep apena? Paula

I had something similiar happen at 10 years. I was having acid reflex mainly at night when sleeping. Stuff from my stomach was coing out of my mouth and nose. It also turned out to be my lapband. I had the GI and it showed it was in place but my dr took all the stuff out and we slowly started to fill it. I am now starting to have a litle reflex but am afraid to tell him because I know he will take it out. From the time he took it out until he started the refills (about 1 1/2 months I gained 8 lbs.

I use Slim Fast with protein power
