I was banded in December and have lost a little over 50 pounds. I have recenly began experiencing frequent heartburn after meals and acid reflux at night. I've taken Tums and liquid antacids - they worked in the beginning but aren't completely relieving my problem now. Does anyone else suffer from this? My band was last filled in May - and I don't think the problem is it being too tight. Any suggestions would be great - it's miserable to have this problem!

Thank you all for taking the time to respond and offer the much needed advice- I am scheduled to see my surgeon in the morning - I'll post what he suggest - but for now ... It's your suggestions that are keeping me almost "reflux" free

I have the Montel juicer- it is a wonderful way to make hot vegetable soups - nutritional drinks. It does include a booklet full of recipes that are very good as well! I would highly recommend it.

Some of my friends who have had the surgery still drink diet cokes, carbonated drinks - I personally haven't since my surgery in December - I was told not to drink anything carbonated - does anyone know the reason why we shouldn't drink carbonation ?

Thank you for all of your comments! I love the fact that each one of us has a unique experience but can help each other. I discovered this app by googling that I thought my band was too tight - I have learned so much from reading all the comments - I'm hooked!
