I had my lap band put in on Jan. 4th 2010. They found Hiatal hernia during surgery and fixed it. (had been on acid reflux meds for years)  During first couple months did great... went slow with fills. Got up to 4 1/2 cc's in band. Started having vomiting and unable to swallow. Had liquid removed... about a month later had 2 ccs put back. tolerated it for about 2-3 weeks.... had it removed. Has been empty ever since.  Last couple of weeks getting worse. Unable to sleep as i keep waking up choking/aspirating on liquid... then have congested cough half of next day... I'll even try eating as early as 3pm so i can possible sleep that night, but it doesn't work. Any liquid i drink even water is comming back. I go to dr tomorrow and am asking for it to be removed. I am terrified of gaining back my weight, but can't keep living like this. I am sooo tired, and hungry! Anyone else have these problems? I am worried about how long this will take... am desperate to do it now. Thanks...
