Does your band tighten over time??

[ShaeShae1983 0]

Hey Guys!!

I had my band in Sept. 2008 and my last (3rd) fill in Jan. 2009. Over the last few months I have been experiencing acid reflux which I never have before (pre or post band), I can't eat things I was able to before (popcorn, etc.), I'm eating and feeling full and then if I try to go to bed a couple hrs later, I'll wake up with the food in my throat and rushing to the bathroom. And most recently, I have trouble drinking coffee (with cream) in the morning which has NEVER happened before. I have to sip very slow. It feels like my band has gotten tighter!!! The crazy part is I'm down from 265 to 185 now and all of a sudden I'm having problems. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts, suggestions?? I would just go to my doctor but insurance changed and I moved to another city. Curious to know if this is common.

Thanks,

Shaelyn

I would find a doctor in your new area. You may need a slight unfill. My doctor always asks about acid reflux, so I think it is related to being too tight. Not sure why this would have happened all of a sudden.
