Acid Reflux Question

[musicalmomma 1]

If this is being posted in the wrong forum, I apologize.

I get Acid Reflux at night when I eat certain foods. My bariatric program coordinator said, in passing mind you, that reflux and heartburn are usually resolved with WLS.

I've been reading LBT for a few days now and wondered how many that had acid reflux before lapband didn't have it any more post-op.

reflux seems to be the only problem i really don't have with the band - didn't really have it before banding and only once since right before my unfill - i think the stuck food/obstruction started causing it and the doc said come in immediately as reflux is pretty hard on the band. hope more people respond - it seems to be a big problem for many

I was on medication for years. Since the band I don't need it anymore.

I was medication, you name it, I tried it. Since being banded 7 weeks ago, I have had zero reflux! Of course, they did repair my hiatal hernia, so that was a major contributer to my reflux. But so far, so good (knock on wood)

Did not have reflux before the band, but have some now. Not terribly bad. Stays under control with an OTC acid reducer every day or other day.

That's what I consider the price to pay to go from a size 18 to an 8 in a year.
