I have tried everything for my reflux and gerd. I was so frustrated with this ongoing condition, the lack of sleep it causes and taking EVERY medication known to man that three nights ago at 2:00AM, I did some research. I know this sound like snake oil but I swear on the Baby Jesus that this works for me and I hope it works for everyone with this condition. Don't laugh. EAT A HALF OF A PEELED APPLE AN HALF HOUR BEFORE BED. I use a Golden Delicious apple and put it in the blender to make a raw applesauce with a touch of honey. I peel the apple but you dont need to peel it. I have a hard time with apple peels passing through my band. I promise it works. I haven't used Pepicid, Tums, Zantac,Pepto, etc....for the past three days and I am sleeping throughout the night.

We sound like were going throught the same thing. I am also at 5 months and just got a fill on Wednesday. The first 24 hours after the fill I was on liquids, next 24 soft foods, the next day I was fine. I started my period last night and today I can't even get down liquids. This is NOT fun!

I'm experiencing the same thing! I had a fill on Wednesday, followed by liquid for 24 hours and soft foods for the next 24 hours. Today is Sunday and yogurt is getting stuck. I have a friend, whom is a doctor, she said that her band was tighter during her period. I started today so Im wondering if that is what is going on with me.

I am! My surgery is scheduled for May 25. Yeepie!

I just received the call that my surgery was approved by Blue Cross Anthem of California. I am super excited and I hope this gives hope to Blue Cross members. My surgery is schedule for May 25, I wish it was tomorrow, but hey, I'll take it! Looking forward to my new life!
