For The First Time In 4 Mths, I Actually Slept With No Pain!

[marfar7 1,533]

Yesterday I went to the drs cuz I've had severe reflux the past 4 mths. Had an xray. My band was flattened - instead of at an angle like it was sposed to be. So even tho I had a slip, they only took out 1/2 of my fill (about 5cc) and will leave it like that for only 2 wks and then fill it back up. Dr said it was most likely caused by vomiting. I knew all my vomiting would eventually catch up to me. No more of that. I slept like a baby last nite-with no drugs! The past 4 mths I've been taking rx Prilosec, rx Nexium, OTC Zantac, and rolaids and still wake up about every 30 mins from the acid coming up. Last nite I actually slept with no pain! Yeah for me. Let's see if I can keep off the weight over the next 2 weeks. I just ate my usual 1/2 tuna sandwich which usually fills me up and I'm still hungry. But I'm gunna be careful.

MY ?: For those of you who have had a refill after an unfill, is it better the 2nd time around? I was getting to where I could eat more lately and I still need to lose a few lbs. Does it work better the 2nd time around?
