Acid Reflux



Recommended Posts

Last night after laying down I began to get slight acid reflux (something I usually do not have) This morning I woke up with the reflux and now it has my band feeling tight and me not wanting to eat. I have been banded for a yr and 1/2. Anyone had this problem or know a solution?

I had it last week, went to the doctor and he did an unfill, I'm much better. He said that if I get into the red zone, which included acid reflux that it was important to get to the doctor. Good luck!

My tubing and port were replaced Wednesday, March 3rd and on Thursday and I Friday I tried to gauge what I could take into my body safely. Wretched nausea!:smile:

Thought I did OK Friday with 1/2 Protein shake twice, 1/2 yogurt, spoonful of noodles from Lipton's and coffee. But last night I'd been asleep an hour and suddenly sat straight up in bed choking on (don't gag) a mouthful of hot vomit! Egads--acid reflux is back! :w00t:

Okay, so I took a 75mg Zantac and it went away without any other issues--but reading your posts makes me think I'll have to keep tabs on that--my surgeon put 4cc back in my Band (and I'd only had 3.5cc before January when I developed the leak).

Thanks for the info! :smile2:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
