Thanks guys I've been a bit miserable with the reflux I can't lay down after I eat because the food will come up. I too hope it's an easy fix

Hopefully it's something they can get under control for you easily!! Did you have reflux with your band? I've had horrible reflux for years. I'm not counting on that going away, would it be nice if it did! lol I've heard of it going all different ways, better, same and worse! :-/

Has the doc mentioned what he may be able to do for you?! Thinking of you. Last thing any of us need after dealing with a lap band, is trouble after a revision!!

I'm waiting to hear from my bariatric surgeon it takes a couple days for the radiologist to prepare the report.. When I had my revision I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired don't think the repair held up after dropping 50 lbs. we shall see I don't like the feeling of food and liquid coming up when I bend or strain my abs so If I need surgery to fix it then we will go that route..

      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.
