Hi all... I had my band in January 2010. They found hiatal hernia and repaired in surgery... was taking heart burn meds before. Stopped all meds after surgery and have lost 70 pounds. Was up to 4 1/2 cc's in band. About 2 months ago.. had band emptied as was having problems swallowing, and throwing up. About2 weeks later had endoscopy and barium swallow... showed no slipage, everything normal. Did alittle better... now for last month having really bad reflux... mainly at night... even to the point of aspirating... congested cough then half the day... some throwing up...I am also back on prilosec twice a day. I have a dr apt tomorrow and am gonna ask them to remove the band. I haven't slept much for a month... so tired of feeling sick and tired. Has anybody had such problems??
