Reflux? but no fills yet

[westcoastmom 3]

I had surgery about 4 weeks ago. I am eating fairly well now - slowly and small amounts. I did not have reflux before surgery and I am not really sure that is what I have now.

But after I eat - and it doesn't seem to matter how little - I seem to have to clear my throat a lot. It isn't terrible, it is just a bit uncomfortable. I am wondering if this is a reflux.

Has anyone else experienced this early on? If so, shouldn't things just go down fairly normal now - before you have any fills? I seem to get full pretty quickly. But hungry again quickly too. I don't think I will feel ready to get a fill any time soon!

That sounds like reflux to me. I have to clear my throat constantly after I eat if I lay down or if I am sitting in certain postions and I was diagnosed with reflux. I take over the counter zantac or pepcid tabs and they work pretty well. Talk to your doc about taking something like that. I am not banded yet but I do worry about the reflux after the band.
