Definitely contract your doctor. You need to have some tests done. It may or may not be band related but only tests by your doctor will give you the answer.

Are you able to eat normally (the usual way you do as a bandster)? Do liquids go down OK?

Doctor will definately want a food diary. I would start on and look at it. See whats different now from what you remember you ate 6 months ago when you didn't have the problem. Any brand changes of food that may have triggard it. Just some thoughts. Good luck and great going on the weight loss.

Congradulations on being banded for 6 years. How much have you lost over all the years? Sounds like you have been able to keep it off. When was the last time you saw your band doctor? Have you had any x-rays or live ones done to see how your band is doing? How many cc's did you have in your band when you last saw your doctor? Like everyone else has said I would call the doctor and go in and see him.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
