My stomach is not too crazy about fills either.

I learned early on in the process that I needed to get very small fills(0.3-0.4 cc) and then baby my stomach for a few days afterward. When I hear the size of the fills some people get, I know that I would sick as a dog for 2 weeks.

As far as the reflux goes, if you aren't too tight, you should be OK in a week. If you aren't, you need to see your doctor and have some of the fill removed. To get through the first few days, I take prevacid and never eat anything after dinner.

I sometimes fill this way if I eat too soon before bed. I remember reading on this forum someone saying it is a good idea to clean out your pouch right before bed, as in drink a good amount of Water to flush it out. You won't get hungry before falling asleep so it is okay to flush it all down. Hope that helps! :)

Acid reflux is a main sign of being too full. If you're not hungry for 4-5 hours between meals then you're in your green zone.

Go and get a partial unfill. The acid reflux should stop. Ask your Dr. about using Prilosec OTC for a few months to help your stomach retrain itself by creating less acid.

Go and get a unfill. this has just happen to me and not a good feeling at night.

I had 6 1/2 and my dr took out 3 for 6 weeks so my band ( pouch) could heal. he also put me on shakes and soft foods for 6 weeks...so its not normal at all,kinda scary

I have heard of this happening, be sure to have your fills on an empty stomach, keep your intake soft on the 1st fill day, I'll use the protien shakes. Dont eat several hours before laying down. I have heart burn 24/7/365, I take ranitidine x 1 per day and that seems to keep my heart burn down quite a bit.
