Band issues

Hello. Haven't been on this site in quite some time but in doing some googling of course I came up with results from here. Super frustrated! I am 5 1/2 years out from band surgery, have gained all my weight back (was down 100 lbs at one point) and now I'm having so many issues. To make matters worse I left my job a couple months ago so I have no insurance to do anything. I contacted a friend who used to work in the bariatric office and she got the doctor who I've seen a couple times before to agree to completely unfill me for free on Monday. I can't wait. I hope that's good enough. I was doing okay until August and then out of nowhere I was too tight. I have trouble getting liquids in sometimes and all day long I have liquid bubbling up into my throat. Sleeping at night is awful because unless I stop eating and drinking like 4 hours before I lay down (and even that isn't a guarantee) then I have the liquid bubbling up all night long. I'm so I incredibly upset. I just want this thing out of me. I hope an unfill makes me more comfortable at least. I also am having a lot of port pain after my daughter stepped on it 5 months ago.

Either you need to pay cash to have it removed or need a new job with insurance that will cover that.  HUGS..
