reverie 49 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd go see another doctor, maybe the doctor who banded you. Acid reflux isn't something to ignore. Your band may be too tight which could be causing the reflux. Definitely see a doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoabean 430 Posted February 16, 2011 I agree with Reverie, if you cannot see your band surgeon, go see a band surgeon. Not all gastro doc's are real familiar with bands. Go see a doctor who is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalipso2 25 Posted February 16, 2011 i developed acid reflux after surgery... i know it's no fun!! i've been woken up by choking and it's scary. you can try taking an over the counter acid reflux medication like Prilosec but you might benefit from just a tiny unfill. you should call your surgeon!
