You are too tight. Go get a little Fluid removed.

Could be that you are eating too late. If I eat after 8pm,l I get the same thing. But, if I have nothing to eat, then I am fine. Try to stop eating eary in the evening, if that is the problem. Karen

Speaking from experience, you are too tight. Have you been vomiting which can irritate your stomach and cause swelling which then makes you too tight and then reflux/cough. Back your diet down to liquids and mushies until you can get a deflate. Also, take something for the acid, prilosec, zantac... My band is slipped and may need to be surgiacally repositioned. All my trouble started with the night reflux/cough.

Good luck!

My doctor says night coughing is due to your band being too tight. Sounds like you need a little flui taken out.

This happens to me if I eat too late or prior to going to bed or while in bed watching TV... a bad habit I've had all my life. The mucous is actually secretions to prevent damage to your esophagus. Sometimes I sleep on two pillows till the feeling passes. Try avoiding eating anything prior to going to bed.

I just went threw this about a month ago, and the mucus is thick !

I went in, and they unfilled some, not much.

It's liveable, and much more comfortable.

Go see your Dr...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
