Less Acid after MORE fill?

[Sunshyne068 97]

I went for a fill yesterday since I dont have much "restriction" and i told my doctor that since surgery Ive had some issues with acid reflux, which has never been an issue before. well he told me that once i reach the green zone (which will probably require more fill) my acid reflux will be under control.

has anyone heard of this before? because i was under the impression that aicd reflux may be a symptom of a too tight band, not one that needs more fill.

A little more detail - I have never thrown up with my band, only had 1 stuck episode the day after a fill, and I rarely have any sliming or PB. I have no intolerance to bread, rice, Pasta, etc and I can eat about 1.5 cups of food, sometimes more, per meal. So I agree that I am not at the green zone and I need more fill to acheive my weight loss goals, but I just wanted to ask if anyone else had heard about the acid reflux going away with more fill? If that's true, I'll be so happy!

I had acid reflux at times PRE band. Since banding over 3 1/2 years ago, NEVER have it. I haven't taken anything for reflux since I was banded...not once. BUT, I don't have my band too tight either, its JUST RIGHT! Loving it! Best wishes

well maybe there is hope for me yet. I never had acide reflux prior to the band, but maybe this series of adjustments will get me to the right point.
