i forgot the ice cream

Becky · July 10, 2004

oh yes, i forgot.. I also eat an ice cream at night.. diet of course.. anyway, it seems to make me have uneasy nights also.. I don't know' if its the dairy or what.. I try to eat it early enough in the evening, but i get this annoying cough , i will usually get up and take a couple tums to settle the heartburn.. I hadn't had this trouble until the last fill.. I know the fill before this was restrictive, but the dr, gave me another 3cc's .. any ideas, suggestions.. thank you in advance..

Becky it could be the dairy. For me it causes alot of mucus build up. I have not had ice cream since being banded but I do drink milk and I get a mucus ball in my throat everytime. so if you are eating ice cream at night it could be from that too.

I just re read your post...you said this was not happening until your last fill of 3cc's? Becky I bet you are filled to tight. This is what happens when you are filled to tight.....the reflux and the heartburn. Even though you may have had your fill awhile ago, sometimes it can take a week to kick in. Sometimes even though you can eat fine it can still one day change. my fill fluctuates..somedays I have so much restriction and some days I hardlly have any. what was in your band before the 3cc's? what is the total fill ammount now? I can almost guarantee you are filled to tight. You should cal lyour doctor and explain it to him , he may want you to come in and take some of it out.

.5 cc's removed can make a huge difference . Dont wait if this continues, you can do damage to you esphogus and have to be completely unfilled fo awhile.
