I had acid reflux about 6 months ago and had most of the Fluid taken out of my band. Gained about 10 lbs. I have slowly had fluid add back in . I had .2 put in on Monday. For the last 3 nights acid reflux has started again. It usually happens about between 2-3 in the morning. I am very good about not eating 3 hours before bed. I drink plenty of Water to make sure pouch is washed out. All things I have been told to do. My band is no where near as full as where it was when I had fluid removed last time. I wonder if the acid is coming from my belly being empty?

I did have a very slight slippage last time (it took two doctors to figure it out). I take prilosec every morning. Any advice would be great!!!!

IMHO, call your Dr. Heartburn is a serious problem and if you are already taking Prilosec, there is something wrong.

Heartburn can lead to esophageal erosion and left untreated cancer. Before banding I had silent reflux, no heartburn, but erosion. Nothing to mess around with.

Good Luck!
