So, before I got banded, i was diagnosed with Gerd. But basically had NO symptoms of it at all. I didnt even notice i had it and it didnt bother me. I took no medication for it.

Fast forward to now, 13 days since being banded and Im having horrible acid reflux. I figured this wouldnt bother me since im not eating fatty or fried foods, or anything that say would irritate it. Im still on Clear liquids including 3 Protein Shakes a day.

I also got my gallbladder removed and a hernia repair on my band date.

I dont know what could be causing my reflux...the only thing that im doing is drinking my chocolate body fortress Protein shakes.

Do you think that is the cause? Otherwise its Water, broth, or Jello...

Hi

I am almost 3 weeks out and I had the same problem as you are having. All I can say is that once I started on mushy foods it went away in a couple of days. I just think it was the acid build up from all the liquids.

Hope this helped you out!

I had GERD as well before surgery and was on medication for it Aciphex once a day. And I must say that I have had no GERD symptoms what so ever since my banding. I also stopped my Aciphex last week. So we shall see how I do.

I think that my eating quality foods has helped as well as my surgeon told me beofre I was banded tha alot of the time the band itself being in place corrects the reflux problem. I am thrilled by that also fell wonderful and am having no issues with eating at all, I have only been stuck once and I will do whatever it takes not to have that happen again.

I am following my dieticians instructions to the letter, and I can eat whatever I want as long as it is cut up real small and I chew it very well. I am eating lots and lots of Protein. Some vegtibles and a little bit of fruit.< /p>

3 ounces per meal, with 2 Protein shakes per day.

Hope this helps,

I take Zantac almost daily for acid reflux. Unfortunately acid reflux is a by product of being banded. I would call your doctor and see if they should administer you something if you are not sure what to take. Good luck.
