Is a little reflux normal??



Recommended Posts

It's not a lot. Just a tiny bit. not even taking anything for it. I just have never had it and I'm six months out. I'm just paranoid about slippage.

I have pretty much the same fill amount as you and I am nearly 8 mths out. I have had reflux since I had about 7.5mls in the band. I have only started taking medication for it in the last 2mths. If I forget my medication I certainly know about it...painnnnnnnn. If it has just come on you might want to just get it checked out...or watch the kind of foods you are eating and no eating after 6pm or so...sleep with your head raised. I am sure someone else will offer some advice on things to try.

I wouldn't say it's "normal," but it is not uncommon. Generally if you can manage it with behavioral changes (like not eating after a certain time in the afternoon) it's not too worrisome. Take care; if it gets worse, though, you may set off a cycle of inflammation that won't improve without medication or an unfill.
