I am waiting for my doctor to return my call but wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem. 1--For the past two nights I have had severe acid reflux. It feels like there is something blocking food or drink. I need to throw up and am constantly spitting in order to get any relief. I feel better in the morning and am able to eat and keep food and Water down. I am worried that my band may have slipped. Does this sound familiar to anyone????

I am scheduled to be banded on Nov 9. I have been reading over the materials my doctor gave me and very little details what my pre-surgery diet should be. I read the post-surgery blog and many people have discussed losing weight prior to surgery. Anyone have any info?

Thanks for the info. I have to be very honest, I am very nervous about the surgery. My journey has been rather quick-my first appointment with the my doctors was at the end of September. I am trying to catch up on all the material out there but feel alittle overwhelmed. Why exactly do they recommend dieting before the surgery? I have read it is to make it easier for the doctor's to perform the surgery but does anyone have a better explanation?
