I had my lap band for four years and am just now having acid reflux. Only cold, cold milk feels good. Anyone having this?

I would definitely schedule a barium swallow test with fluro with your doc. Slippage/Dilation takes on the form of Reflux or heartburn and the earlier it is caught the easier it is to fix.

I'm sure all you need is a little Fluid taken out. Reflux usually indicates that you are too tight. You probably have a little swelling.

I'm 3.5 years out and I starting having reflux bad the beginning of this year. I know that I should go see my doc, but can't seem to make it there yet.

I'm glad you posted this. I get this a little since my fill a week ago. I think it just means we're tighter and need to slow down a bit (in my case.) I had this right after my last fill, also, but after I lost weight it went away. I know I didn't slip or dilate in the past week because I've been following every little rules that exists! Haha, I have, though. I think it just means we're probably a little tighter than we should be and my thoughts on this is, I'll lose some more weight and it will go away - it's a win win!! Mine is very minor, though, yours sounds a little more uncomfortable. Good luck, hope you feel better! :unsure:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
