Hi
Sorry to have been MIA all week. I've had some problems since my last fill and I have been trying to come to terms with them.
I'm hoping that by writing it down I might get some clarity on what to do.
I have suffered with Reflux for years and the main symptom was a persistent cough and a slightly sore throat. When I lose weight and eat better the coughing goes away. I have been on omeprazole for years and it works much better when I eating better - nearly all symptoms go away.
Any way I had my third fill last week, taking me from 4 to 6ml in a 9ml band. I was able to drink half a litre of liquid immediately afterwards with no restriction. However, I noticed that my asthma was worse that evening and the cough started within a few hours of the fill.
I have woken up every morning since then feeling like I have a cold with a sore throat and persistent cough.
My restriction is mixed - sometimes I can eat a fair bit - other times almost nothing. I am PBing a lot but don't seem to get a warning that I have eaten too much - it feels like it's more to do with the cough.
I have tried to let it settle but am worried that I will need a defill to stop the reflux. However, I don't have a lot of restriction now and therefore am scared the problem with reflux will stop the band working for me.
Any ideas?
