I had a TT, AL, &BA last Wednsday. The surgery was causing issues with my lap band and not allowing me to eat/drink. After conferring with my PS and Bariatric surgeon, my BS UNfilled my band today and provided much relief. However, I had been coughing a lot due to the reflux the band was causing.

Does this sound normal to you?
