Severe nausea and acid reflux

[LessofLex 0]

I just wanted to share with you all my experience with severe nausea and acid reflux.

I was banded Jan 2010. But I was recently having the symptoms of severe nausea after I would eat anything and at night I would have very bad acid reflux. This is something I have never experienced before. So after toying with this and downing bottles of antiacids for a month I finally went to my lapdoc and he simply said this means I put too much in my fill. He removed some and it was the difference of night and day! It worked!!

So if any of you are experiencing this same thing you may be overfilled. Ask your doctor to remove a little and see if this works for you too.

Good thing to keep in mind when I get subsequent fills--- that it just might not be from eating too fast, but too tight a fill. Thanks!

Call your doc's office back and tell them that you're waking up at night with reflux. They need to get you in earlier. If need be, go and sit in the office and wait until they can see you.

Nighttime reflux is nothing to mess around with, it can lead to aspiration pneumonia!
