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!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
