I have been nauseated, barfed, had hiccups and night coughs, chest pains, lump in throat--lots of fun. I had an endoscopy this morning. More GI tests will follow. Anyway,the band has not slipped despite all the nonsense. GO doctor says eat small meals 6 times a day, do not eat less than 3 hors before bed. I was told in past I may have esophageal spasms.

I've been banded about 5 years and have lost about 100 pounds. My band had to be replaced about 15 months ago because it had repositioned itself. (Note that I don't say it slipped because my surgeon assures me that his bands do no slip.)

Anyway, if you want to be buddies, it is OK with me. Apparently a lot of my problem is GERD. I'm taking new pills, generic proteomic.
