so yep im SOL and cant swallow my own spit

  I had the same spitting up problem over a year and a half ago when I was too tight...and it ended with me in the ER and getting an unfill (by students I might add - it's a learning hospital and it was 11pm at night). My Doc came in the next morning and took X-Rays - my stomach had gone up over the band (from spitting up) and I had to go into surgery the next day to have it completely replaced. Then I gained almost all my weight back because I couldn't get a fill for a loonnnng time because of complications and I wasn't good about my diet and excercise. Do yourself a favor and drive wherever you have to to get this done now. Don't wait. 

Just checking in to see if you have gotten any relief....

I just went through this. I had to wait til Monday only to go into the office and see only the nurse. She then said the dr. would not do the unfill til I had a swallow test. I showed up at the hosp at 8:30 for the swallow test, they weighed me and I had lost 5.6 lbs. The doctor was very happy about the weight lost . I had been at a plateu for 5 months. We did the swallow test and it did go through, just very slowly. He convinced me with the weight lose and results of the swallow test that I was probably in my "sweet spot". I did really good all last week. I had to really stick to the 3-4 oz, chew chew chew, and cut meat pencil eraser size. In the whole last year I had never reached this amount of restriction.
The only thing now it is Friday evening, I have had a super stress full day and my band is soo tight I can barely sallow. I think I must be having some major reflux going on because my throat is burning so bad. I can not do a popsickle, hot soup or ice cream. It just will not go down. I am hoping for a better day tomorrow,cause I sure am hungry. LOL
Let me know how it turns out for you.
Good Luck,
Diane

with respect, i don't believe your at your sweet spot - you need an unfill.
burning reflex, barely able to swallow will not get better on your own & can create future problems.

i would have a small unfill & see where that goes - and not let this go on for too long.
