I'm just telling you what my book that the Dr. gave me says...When you lay down & start coughing it usually means your band is filled to tight. Now this is when your healthy not sick with say a cold. I'd check with my Dr. Hope you feel better soon :-)

I had a lot of acid before my band, then nothing after the band until I also had a bout of it. I know it was releated to stress at work . . .are you more stressed right now? If so, try - really try to find some peace time. For me, once that stressful week and 1/2 ended, I have had no more acid problems. Best wishes.

The exact same circumstances apply to me. I too have been out 4 years and I also have acid reflux and it hurts real bad. I going to he docs office on Monday.. Any suggestions anyone? Do I need an adjustment? Can't live with this pain.

Doesn't look like there have been any updates to this for a while, but I was wondering what the indivudals with the acid reflux have been able to do. I'm 6 years out, have extreme acid reflux and I'm unable to have any fill in my band, it is only primed at this time. If I have any fill, I have to sleep sitting up, and I start coughing which prevents me from sleeping. At this time I've made the decision that sleep is more important, but has anyone been able to find a solution. I've tried Prilosec twice a day and this does not help. My Dr. said this is a rare side effect, but has seen this happen before. I want to use the tool I have, but I'm unable to at this time. I don't regret getting the band, I'll lost 80 pounds, but I'm currently very frustrated. Any ideas?
