Am I Asking For Trouble?

i had severe GERD and I could not go a day without my nexium. Since banding the GERD has gotten a lot better, but I am sad to say it is not gone, but it is not affecting my band or my results and is easily controlled with Nexium so I am a happy camper.

i had severe gerd before banding...would chew 3-4 xtra stregth tums at a time, 2-3 times a day, especially at bedtime. i think since banding i might have had 4 tums total.

I've tried both Prilosec and Pepcid Complete. The first time I did a round of Prilosec, it became my best friend. I did the 14-day course and rather than lasting just 6 months (I think that's what they promise), it lasted me NINE months. I was in heaven. When it came back, I tried to get back on a 14-day course and it didn't work at all. No effect whatsoever. I then did the Pepcid Complete for awhile until it stopped working. Then I went to Tums or Rolaids. Actually, the chewy Rolaids worked pretty well if I took about 2-3 of them. That whole acid thing got very frustrating. I hope it stays away! I don't want it. LOL

I had trouble with heartburn every single day. After the banding, I've not had heartburn, not even once. That was a nice surprise for me.
