Reflux on Fluro - but I cant feel it...advice?

I went in today for a fill. I havent had one in exactly a year. My doc showed me on the fluroscope where I was having a bit of reflux. The barium would go down but some of it would pop back up and then go down. Not high enough that I feel it though. She told me to stay on liquids for 4 days instead of the usual two. I should have asked her why I had it and more importantly what I can do to get rid of it. I told her that on the rare occasion I have heartburn I chew a pepcid and she said that's fine. Today was a horrid day in Atlanta as we had frozen highways and streets last night. Everyone was late to work at the hospital and she wasn’t in her normally mid paced routine. She is an excellent dr and I have a lot of trust in her, but I wonder if she should have said more regarding the reflux. Why I didn’t ask could be attributed to the same reasons: b/c they were running hours behind seeing me, I was running hours behind getting to work. So I rushed out and didn’t think about it until I was driving.

Have any of your docs seen reflux that you couldn’t feel, and what did you do to correct it?

did you get a fill today?

my surgeon does most of his fills under floro and at one point he said i was having reflux issues which i never felt. i insisted on getting a fill that day.

i started having horrible reflux where i was wake up at night choking on the stomach acid. i had to get unfilled under floro to the point where the barium wasn't refluxing.

he told me it was because my band was too tight...

Thanks for your response...

Yes, actually I did get the fill. I had already had two unfills since my last fill. The second time they took .5 cc's out. So, yesterday she put .3 cc's back in. I feel fine since. I realized last night that the reflux is probably due to the high potency Iron supplements I'm on for my anemia. Iron supplements are known for causing gastric problems. I called her office and left a message for her to call me today. Maybe we can come up with something to replace them with.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
