I am having some issues with not being able to get my band adjusted just right. I have had it for 3 1/2 years and have lost about 160 pounds. For the last year I feel that I have been just constantly messing with the band. I will get a fill then I will have a night time cough so I will go back and get what I had put in removed then it will seen like I can eat too much so I will get a little more put in and then it will be too tight again. I want to lose another 30 pounds and it just seems to be getting harder and harder to get the band adjusted just right. Is anyone else having any issues like this. I want to get a Tummy Tuck next fall but I would like to be done losing weight before I do that.

I'm in the same position I'm now on my 3rd unfil, I get some taken out and the weight starts to go on, but if I increase my fill to a level where I start to loose weight I start the night time coughing, I'm so tired from not being able to sleep but I'm due for an unfil in two days, but dread the fact the band wont be filled enough to influence my weight. I need to loose 26lb but its just not happening. Sorry to moan but its so frustrating. mmm

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
