Help....not digesting my food.

[JakesWife 0]

So, I had a de-fill, un-fill, whatever you want to call it. I only had two cc's anyway. I am still experiancing super sluggish gastic emptying. Has anyone experianced this? Still experiancing reflux, no heartburn....just gastric Fluid flowing up my throat and causing me to cough. Unfortunatly this is occurring mostly at night. I went on liquids for a week and progressed slowly on to solids, using the post surgery diet as a model. Now a month later after having all of my symptoms disapear, they are back, not as bad as they once were, but reoccurring again.

Help, anyone ever have this happen? :devil_smile::confused:;)

Well, the thing about the band is that it's designed to slow gastric emptying. The problem is that for some people, this results in acid reflux.

Has your doctor recommended/prescribed a good medication to reduce acid production?

Have you been given good practical advice about the timing of eating, foods that can aggravate it, and so on?

It might be a good idea to schedule an appointment to address these issues.

Reflux can be managed--and it often resolves, too.
