Wendy,

I Have Been Having The Same Problems. Now I Have To Have A Brouchoscopy Of The Throat And Lung. The Ct Showed Lots Of Bad Stuff As Well And Maybe Even A Cancer Mass!!! Really Scared Right Now. Is It Just The Band Or Really Cancer????? My Band Was To Tight For A While, I Had .5 Taken Out And The Coughing And Reflux Stopped Asap. I Will Keep You Informed As I Go To The Drs For All This. Hang In There, You're Not Alone.

So you didn't get a total unfill but just .5 taken out and it stopped? I have to get a couple more test next week one is on my gallbladder my doctor said that the stone is in the cystalduct going towards the kidney, and that can't be good. I saw a pulmanary doctor yesterday and he said that the Esophegeal Dismotility can cause pnemonia. I hope the mass is just your band. let me know.

I went to my Lapband Dr. yesterday and he took out .6 cc, I slept all night through last night which felt so good.

Anyway, I have multiple stones and my lapband dr. is taking my gallbladder out next friday. I am so sick of being operated on. But the gallstones definently explain why I have been so miserable and so does the unfill. I still have restriction, but it has let up a little. I just want to feel good again.

Thanks for all the advice and I think it is obvious that these are all symptoms of the lapband (pnemonia, esophegeal dismotilility, and gallstones) Is it worth it? I am still contiplating that one. I guess I will know more when I see how I feel after the gallbladder removal.

can to much of a fill make you cough alot like wake you up while your sleeping up till 3am befor you get to rest a little bit kinda cough... i had an unfil yesterday because my band was filled to tight and i was stuck with the tight fill since the 11th of last month. but i am still coughing. my chest feels like i have a fire in it (maybe from coughing so hard) .

If you've gone this long with nighttime reflux, you very well could have bronchitis or aspiration pneumonia. Ask your doctor how you can confirm this. Did he give you any antibiotics??

      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.
