What the h?!

So, I just wanted to tell you about something that happened just now. Kinda freaked out. I was on my computer just playing a game, and I kinda fell asleep. I woke up with a start when "stuff" started coming out of my NOSE!!! (This next part is kinda gross.) It kind of had little cottage cheese-ish stuff in it, but the majority of it was watery. I know it's band-related because I have been having issues with reflux/choking/drowning feeling. I don't understand what's going on!!!! Should I be worried? Has anyone else experienced this?

By the way, it's all down my shirt and a little on my pants. I'm kind of freaking out. I'm not gonna lie.

Help!!!! :smile2:

How long have you been banded?

Its been 2 years for me, and i currently have this same problem!

When i get a fill, i sleep, wake up choking, coughing, and many times, Water running from my nose, ONCE i saw the same cheese stuff, bas was wayy too sleepy to give it attention!

How long have you been banded?

A year and a half. I got a fill in April, and she filled me up VERY tight. But I went back to college, so I couldn't get an aspiration. I've just been living with it since then. However, I am on my way back to Texas, so we're going to address the issue.

Thanks for writing back so quickly!!!

I have been reading about it now, many say they have the same issue, one said she had a slip!

I think we should have the barium swallow. My doc said i should stop eating & drinking @ night, i did that but still the same problem happened!

I really cannot sleep @ night just from coughing

Yeah! The last time I ate was around 6:30 p.m. But I have to take my pills at night so the Water messes me up. UGH!!!! Sorry...

Sounds to me like your band is way too tight. You should get back to the Dr ASAP and get some fill taken out. The problem is that it seems that you have been too tight and known that you were too tight for a while. Being too tight causes all sorts of problems and can lead to you losing your band . Hopefully no irreparable damage has been done.
