I haven't had one tum's, zanex or a hit of reflux or indigestion since the day I started my pre op. From what I understand nighttime reflux is a sign of something wrong with the band.........go see your dr.

As the others have stated, reflux is usually a sign of being too tight. Do not ignore it or things will only get worse and lead to other likely complications!

I had some issues with acid reflux PRE banding. Not so much as a single Tums since. I agree with the above. I eat some very spicy foods too.

Speak to your doc for sure. Sometimes reflux can mean you are to tight, sometimes it is you are over eating, sometimes it doesn't have anything to do with the band.

My mom has hyperactive acid producers in her stomach and has taken meds for years. She just had a hernia surgery and also had the reflux surgery- she is worlds better.

If you are currently having sinus problems like me tell you doc that when you tell him you are having reflux. The only time I seem to have reflux is this time of year. The pollen starts falling and I get a horrible post nasal drip that is more like a post nasal river- this causes coughing, sore throat and reflux. Doc has checked me out and all is okay. But it is always best to talk to the doc.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
