I tried the Gas-X it seem to help a little. I also had to go old school with some baking soda in my hand.

Are liquids going down? It sounds like you just need a small unfill. I'm sorry you have to wait until Fri. did you tell the Dr's office how bad it is?

I am just miserable! I am 6 weeks post op and having a terrible time with esophageal spasms. Had an Upper GI done today the band is fine but I have this terrible feeeling of someone stepping on my throat about 1/2 hour after I eat anything liquid or otherwise. They diagnosed me with acid reflux and put me on prevacid but I am still having tremendous pain so bad it gives me headaches. Lying down is the only relief. Any suggestions Anyone Please!!!

did the Dr put any fill in your band at surgery? If so maybe they could remove it?

I'm sorry you're having these problems.

The only thing that helps me if I get heartburn is milk. I just sip on 1% milk when it gets rid bad. I don't do well with any kind of medicine though.

I hope it gets better.

OK its been 24 hours on prilosec and I was able to get down about half of what i am supposed to eat today with very little discomfort afterwards. Maybe there is hope! Thank you to all of you who gave me suggestions. This website is what helped me self diagnose in the first place. I actually had to suggest to the NP that maybe it was reflux due to what i learned from speaking to all of you! I will keep you all posted. Thanks again!

There are only 2 solutions to reflux. First is an unfill (which is more likely) and the second is medication Zantac or Prilosec. I had to have an slight unfill .3 ccs.

Thanks for the reply I have actually been taking prilosec for 3 days now and I would say the pain has decreased 90 %. Thank you all! I would have never known what I had if I didnt have this website and all of you as a resource! I am feeling better!

Can someone suggest or tell me if you have had this problem. When I eat my stomach makes noise like gruling and it is so embrassing when out with friends. I recently had a fill so maybe that is the reason. I am a little tight also. The other problem is my food comes back in small amounts at times and seems to be sour. By the way this forum seems to have better answers than any doctors I ever talk to
