So, the Dr. had put Fluid in your band at surgery? Do you know how much is still there.....?

Anyway, for myself, one rule I have is never to eat anything close to bedtime....If I don't eat by 6, 7pm the latest, then I don't eat.

I know in my case, it can take a while for food to pass through my band.....and laying down horizontally cannot help.

I think it's time to go back to the doctor. Coughing and spitting up is not normal.
